History

Vienna College Namugongo commenced in February 1999 as a result of an invitation by the Ugandan President H.E: Yoweri Museveni to Austrians to invest in the Ugandan Education sector.

Two notable Austrians, Brigadier Helmut Moser and Major Gabriel Rudolf partnering with renowned Ugandan educationalist Dr. J.C. Muyingo mobilized resources to establish this project. Emmanuel Wamala, the Archbishop of Kampala archdiocese donated the land onto which Vienna College Namugongo sits today.

A home to over four hundred students, Vienna College Namugongo, is a private co-education institution. It opened its doors to International students early in January 2000, rapidly establishing itself as a haven for senior students from Kenya, Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Europe, the United States and of course, its home setting- Uganda.

In mid-2005, a new Board took over control and ownership of Vienna College Namugongo. The Board is chaired by renowned Economist and Educationalist Mr. Chris Kassami and includes Mr. Bob Kabonero, Mr. William Byaruhanga and Mr. Enoch Rukidi, the Resident Executive Director.
