With acatchy Motto “Come prepared to learn, Leave prepared to succeed”,Victoria University has set its sights on becoming a regional leader in technology-driven higher education with the launch of its Strategic Plan for 2025/26–2029/30.

He praised Dr. Sudhir Ruparelia’s vision, noting the university’s rapid rise since its establishment in 2013.
“We want to be the university that turns potential into productivity—where every course builds competence and every learner graduates with proof of workplace readiness,” Muganga said.
He revealed that a major highlight of the strategy is an upcoming infrastructure expansion where Dr Sudhir Ruparelia has provided prime land for a modern mega-campus designed to host thousands of students as demand continues to grow.
Victoria University currently serves over 5,000 learners across business, law, engineering, and health sciences, supported by its flexible trimester system and strong industry links.

“Positioning itself as East Africa’s leading provider of experiential learning, Victoria University aims to bridge the gap between academia and industry—especially important in a country where more than 70% of the population is under 30,”he stated.
“The future is never given; it is created by those bold enough to redesign it,” the university Secretary declared.
