Last week on Friday, Victoria University held its 4th graduation ceremony at Speke Resort Munyonyo where 50 students received their testimonials after successful completion of their courses.
It was at this ceremony that Krishna Sarma, the university’s Vice Chancellor announced that university management is in advanced stages to introduce courses in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics.
“The faculty is working around the clock to bring in real training possibilities in the area of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, Information Security and Computer Forensics,” said Sarma.
Ugandan Universities have a range of computer-related courses but the field of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics is still not yet fully explored. It is this gap that Victoria University looks forward to filling and as a result equip Ugandans with industry-driven skills to use Artificial Intelligence in the development of next-gen technology.
In doing so, Victoria University will set the precedent as the first University in Uganda to roll out such a course.
Other courses the university is planning to in traduce include English, French and Chinese languages.
Victoria University is a private institution owned by the Ruparelia Group, and it is fully accredited by the National Council for Higher Education.
