This university is a comprehensive and multidisciplinary institution based on training, research and extension services. Established on 21 August 1962, UEM is ranked among Africa’s top 35 universities (Aicu 2021). Its vision is to be a university of national, regional and world reference in the production and dissemination of scientific knowledge and extension, underscoring research as a foundation to teaching and learning processes and extension. The university's mission is to produce and disseminate scientific knowledge and to promote innovation by means of research, which acts as a foundation to teaching and learning processes and extension, imparting humanistic values to generations of students so that they can face day-to-day challenges for the development of society. ![](/storage/files/uem.jpg)With a global perspective and through collaboration with others, Eduardo Mondlane University contributes to the development of knowledge. Education and research in human science and science in the international frontline, as well as in interdisciplinary work, make this possible. It also makes knowledge accessible to all through dialogue, participation in public debate, and the development of society. UEM promotes, at all institutional levels, democratic and collegial governance practices that ensure a management structure that is in line with the goals of a research-led university based on the spirit of good governance. This also stimulates the development of cooperation at all national, regional, and international levels to ensure continuity in resource mobilisation, expansion of access to opportunities, and affirmation of UEM as an institution of excellence in teaching, research, and extension. ![](/storage/files/uem2.jpg) - [ ![Click to enlarge](https://civis.eu/storage/files/picture-9-618x_.jpg?token=a0254b0eb36c74047d039eca4dad66a8) ](https://civis.eu/storage/files/picture-9-1600x1600-resize.jpg?token=cdc719562b50a5f410c017862d9c958d) - [ ![Click to enlarge](https://civis.eu/storage/files/picture-5-618x_.jpg?token=da575a07216d480cfde70d7a7ec55b7b) ](https://civis.eu/storage/files/picture-5-1600x1600-resize.jpg?token=3068ed07cc16351f94b46a401c6523a6) - [ ![Click to enlarge](https://civis.eu/storage/files/picture-6-618x_.jpg?token=fb79d6920f7e519360379aff16424ae4) ](https://civis.eu/storage/files/picture-6-1600x1600-resize.jpg?token=b02970750a97029feb41478fbf961fd5) - [ ![Click to enlarge](https://civis.eu/storage/files/picture-8-618x_.jpg?token=cd7281c1bd2cb8cbdd37f169deff811e) ](https://civis.eu/storage/files/picture-8-1600x1600-resize.jpg?token=3cb242be373875f55ffd713f4e19e883) - [ ![Click to enlarge](https://civis.eu/storage/files/picture-7-618x_.jpg?token=8ad86297db8fd0523aa2d05c1ac2693e) ](https://civis.eu/storage/files/picture-7-1600x1600-resize.jpg?token=5a6a3d80b94935d8ea04a49428949f99) - [ ![Click to enlarge](https://civis.eu/storage/files/uem-picture-2-618x_.jpg?token=7fd58e1f32fd53f0525003372ea027d9) ](https://civis.eu/storage/files/uem-picture-2-1600x1600-resize.jpg?token=8151b7e3c690e90176963e336a1b5743) - [ ![Click to enlarge](https://civis.eu/storage/files/uem-picture-1-618x_.jpg?token=7b0b6f1913af892bb207a2d975b31680) ](https://civis.eu/storage/files/uem-picture-1-1600x1600-resize.jpg?token=ef16d9d5e09b5c40c5962dc8ad085ee1) - [ ![Click to enlarge](https://civis.eu/storage/files/uem-picture-3-618x_.jpg?token=1f35e491d64ff7af79de95e9b0a27c1a) ](https://civis.eu/storage/files/uem-picture-3-1600x1600-resize.jpg?token=e05755a927b2d7a6ff973f35d462ac03) - [ ![Click to enlarge](https://civis.eu/storage/files/uem-picture-4-618x_.jpg?token=d3d13331fd651263aec077a809f4d391) ](https://civis.eu/storage/files/uem-picture-4-1600x1600-resize.jpg?token=4e9555e57c7c96a46affd24331d64344) ![CIVIS – Europe’s Civic University Alliance](https://civis.eu/build/assets/civis-CCpvK1nT.svg) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Europe’s Civic University Alliance ![Co-funded by the European Union](https://civis.eu/build/assets/co-funded-by-the-european-union-DSKLW1us.png)Views and opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).
