Who We Are

Leading Private Vocational Tertiary Institution

Makerere Business Institute (MBI) is a registered private tertiary educational institution in Uganda. Situated on Sir Apollo Kaggwa Road, Kampala, MBI has built an exemplary track record spanning over two decades of delivering premium and practical hands-on business and technical skills.

MBI was founded with a singular purpose: to bridge the gap between academic theory and actual workplace demands. While many traditional courses prioritize heavy exam memorization, our curriculums emphasize practical application.
