Deans Message
Are you a bachelor’s degree holder who would like to become a part of a dynamic, ambitious, academic community? Are you tired of being stuck somewhere in the INGO office with a transparent ceiling that holds you down, while your “Boss” lives “The Good Life” somewhere in Nairobi? Do you want to buck the mindset which says that the best you can hope for is to serve as a low-level technical worker or an administrative assistant? Do you want to challenge yourself and get serious about an education worthy of an international standard? Are you ready to work hard in a disciplinary area of your choice so that you can compete with the best anywhere in the world? Do you want to become a scholar, a thinker, an educator, a doctor, and/or someone who has the tenacity, self-discipline, and dedication necessary to gain the intellectual power to make a difference in both yourself and your country? If so, come and join us at the School Of Graduate Studies at the University of Hargeisa.
