UNIVERSITY OF GOMA

A Public University Built for the Future of the DRC

The University of Goma is a public university institution born from the Democratic Republic of Congo's policy of expanding higher and university education across the country.

It draws its existence from Ministerial Decrees No. ESU/CABMIN/066/93, ESU/227/1996 and ESU/002/1997, and gained full autonomy through Order No. 055/MINSU/RS/2005.

From its origins as the North Kivu University Center under the University of Kisangani, UNIGOM has grown into an independent institution serving thousands of students across eight academic fields.
