Research is part of UMU’s three-track mandate (i.e. teaching, research and community service). Indeed, its research activities touch on all three categories of research relevant to a higher learning institution, namely, student research, staff research and outreach research.
The Research directorate is principally responsible for overseeing the management of research in Uganda Martyrs University and is run by a team comprising of the Director, Assistant Director, Editor and Documentation Officer.

Uganda Martyrs University Alumni Association (UMUAA) was established in 2001.
Our main aim: Through fellowship bridge academia, practice and the community.
Our goals are:
• As an association, to consistently get- together;
• To fundraise for and undertake UMUAA’s projects;
• To publish all activities as part of a website, links, and a newsletter;
• To act as a conduit for internship/employment opportunities;
• To facilitate Seminars/Workshops on pertinent issues;
• To engage in Community development as CSR;
• To involve students (as interns) on all projects –as ushers, runners, task managers/assistants, administrators, editors, publicity assistants, graphics designers and website managers.

The core academic departments are listed below. Programmes offered within these departments include: undergraduate, a full range of post-graduate programmes, masters and PhD.
