Nkumba University lists a Bachelor of Science in Cyber Security and Digital Forensics on its program pages ([studyuganda.com)], a degree that was accredited by Uganda’s National Council for Higher Education on June 13, 2022 ([unche.or.ug)]. The institution’s student-run Cyber Security Club has been active in campus outreach and was spotlighted in a university media video about awareness initiatives published on YouTube ([youtube.com)]. Nkumba delivers course material through its e‑learning environment NUELE, which hosts videos, quizzes and module content that can be used to convert a mentorship primer into an on‑demand staff training package ([elearning.nkumbauniversity.ac.ug)]. Earlier campus LMS training at Nkumba was run with support from Cyber Schools Technology Solutions in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation, per a university social post about e‑learning programs two years ago ([facebook.com)]. Nkumba is a small‑sized university with an enrollment range estimated at 4,000–4,999 students by uniRank, giving the mentorship and related club activities a campus reach reflected in recent graduation figures of about 1,672 graduands reported by New Vision for a recent year ([unirank.org)].
