The international officers provide adequate acclimatization to Uganda on arrival in liaison with a student buddy association ‘Global friends’. The buddies acclimatize visiting scholars the geography of the place (Mulago and other teaching hospitals). They also organize visit to cultural sites in Kampala and other parts of the country.

In addition to that, we work closely with Faculty to identify and guide students on appropriate research projects where International scholars can undertake in partnerships with MakCHS students.

MakCHS recognizes that academic mobility for Makerere students is a very important aspect of internationalization. The office provides logistic and financial support to students at all levels (Undergraduate, graduate) and teachers to enable them undertake placements in partner Universities under the student exchange framework and attend conferences.
