The University Motto is "We strive for Excellence". The pursuit of excellence is the bedrock of Kampala University's Philosophy. It is premised on the conviction that striving for Excellence is not just a human ideal, but a timeless yard stick. It is therefore a firm and considered belief by the Kampala University academic community, that excellent performance is not only directed to those instructed at Kampala University, but also those entrusted with the duty to instruct.
