The idea to establish an educational institution started in June 1997, after which time it took five years to develop and open the university. It opened in September 1997 as a non-governmental, non-profit institution for higher learning, governed by a Board of Trustees and a University Council.
Dear students and parents, thank you for your interest in Mogadishu university which was built on a foundation of change and excellence.

On behalf of the MU family, including administration, faculty members, students, and myself, I welcome you to Mogadishu University, a higher education institution with modern academic programmes.
