Word from the Dean
School of the
Built Environment
The management and use of the built environment is increasingly becoming of
paramount importance in Uganda and the world over. There are many challenges
associated with the ever increasing population of the world including overpopulated
cities, inadequate housing, mushrooming slums, land related conflicts, poor land
management, corruption in construction, cost and time overruns, inadequate public
infrastructure and many others. These challenges are especially apparent in developing
countries Uganda inclusive.
The School of Built Environment houses the department of architecture and physical
planning; the department of Geomatics and Land Management; and the department
of Construction Economics and Management. The school currently offers programmes
in architecture, physical and urban planning, land surveying, quantity surveying, land
economics and construction management. The School, in collaboration with other
institutions worldwide is trying to address the challenges facing the built environment.
Research and outreach are being carried out on global issues such as urban sprawl,
unplanned cities, inefficient provision of infrastructure, inadequate management of
construction, poor land management, lack of low cost housing, and so on. The school
has staff with expertise to handle most of the issues in the area of built environment
and in addition, the school has collaboration arrangements with other universities in
Sweden, Norway, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, Botswana and many others.
The school takes as priority provision of hands on experiential learning so that the
student is ready to work with minimum internship supervision after graduation. For this
we thank the firms that collaborate with us in providing the students’ industrial training.
Most of the graduates from the school end up being absorbed to work in the areas of
their study.

The Construction Economics & Management Department at the CEDEAT started
LSG 4205 Real Estate Management 4 in 2004 with 67 students. Currently, the student population stands at about
600 students, making the department undoubtedly one of the fastest growing

at the college.Three programmes are run under the department, and these are:

3. Bachelor of Science in Construction Management (BSCCM), 3

years
This department is vindicated by the fact that whereas specialists such as

architects and engineers are required in any construction project, eventually
the successful physical execution depends on the expertise of those with
the appropriate management skills, a command of cost planning and cost
management techniques, and a thorough understanding of the administrative
and legal aspects of building developments. This is what forms the core of
Construction Economics and Management.
It is expected that a graduate who has passed through this department will:
1. Have an excellent understanding of the principles of
management, economics, construction technology, and
environmental engineering.
2. Be proficient communicators with well-developed planning and
problem-solving skills, able to work positively in a team situation.

CEDAT Margaret Trowell School of Industrial & Fine Atrs
Word from the Dean
The Margaret Trowell School Welcome to the Margaret Trowell School of Industrial and Fine Arts
THE MARGARET TROWELL SCHOOL OF

of Industrial & Fine Arts (MTSIFA). This is the oldest and most celebrated Art School in East
Africa. Founded in 1937 by Mrs. Margaret Trowell, after whom it is
INDUSTRIAL AND FINE ART named, MTSIFA has three departments: Fine Art; Industrial Arts and
Applied Design; and Visual Communication Design and Multimedia
as well as an Institute of Heritage Conservation and Restoration. It
is a close-knit community of students and professionals that serves
largely as an arts conservatory and centre of excellence in the arts for
the East African region. MTSIFA currently offers programs in fine art
and industrial design at Bachelors, Masters and PhD level. Our world-
class academic staff comprised of practicing artists, art historians,
art educators, designers, and cultural theorists, are dedicated to
providing students with the tools, knowledge and resources that will
help them find their own path to success.
The curriculum challenges students to explore critical aesthetic and

community issues, and necessitates them to come up with individual
art and design solutions. Through courses in business administration,
finance and banking, and arts marketing, MTSIFA students learn to
combine professional studio-practice with the entrepreneurial skills
needed to build a successful career in the vibrant cultural sector while
others use their creativity and business background to make a real
contribution in the public sector, in their communities, and in their
lives.
MTSIFA welcomes a diverse student body from across the region.
I invite you to experience and explore all the creative possibilities
available through our academic programs and research collaborations
with other universities in USA, UK, Finland, South Africa, and Kenya.

THE INSTITUTE OF HERITAGE
Research & Innovations

CONSERVATION AND RESTORATION.
Following the formation of the College of Engineering, Design, Art and

Technology, the Makerere Art Gallery which was a constituent part of the
School of Industrial and Fine Arts, was upgraded to the Institute of Heritage
Conservation and Restoration.
The institute is currently run by a Director, Curator and two assistants.

The institute is a home to a fine and extensive collection of art works
from different disciplines and media collected since 1950. Many of these
artworks have arisen from the artistic involvement with traditional materials
and techniques, while others reflect cultural heritage such as indigenous
traditions, patterns and beliefs. Its content revolves around political and
cultural history, changes in society, influences of religion and intercultural
exchanges.
Beyond keeping and documenting this collection, as well as organising

regular shows, the institute has expanded its mandate to carrying out
strategic research on Uganda’s visual culture. Understanding how this culture
is locally constituted will form the basis for developing educational and
academic materials for use within the college as well as transfer partnership
programs. It is now possible to intimately engage with art practitioners,
collectors, connoisseurs as well as museum and art gallery directors in
Uganda with the aim of improving the visibility of Ugandan art through
knowledge generation and dissemination.
The institute is also taking in its fold the restoration of decaying art works in
its care as well as their preservation.
