About Kampala International University School of Law
Teaching of law at Kampala International University begun in October, 2002, with an in-take of 65 students from the East Africa countries: Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. During the same academic year, October 2002 – October, 2003, a further fresh in-take of 52 students was made in April, 2003. This made the law programme a parallel-semester programme, with same study-year students of two distinct in-takes having a first and second semester conducted in the same academic year. The years following have seen the School expanding in many aspects ranging from increase in number of students, academic staff, teaching and facilities. The first in-take students graduated in November, 2006, joined the Law Development Centre Kampala for the mandatory Post-Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice the same year.

Over time, well qualified academicians have joined the School as full time members of staff. Some of them hold Doctorates in Law, and the majority hold at least one Master of Laws (LL.M) Degrees from worldly respectable and recognized Universities.
