About UMST

A Legacy of Excellence Across Borders

Founded in 1996 in Khartoum as the Academy of Medical Sciences and Technology, UMST began with just 60 students and a bold vision: to bridge educational gaps and produce world-class professionals. By 2007, it had achieved full university status, and today it serves thousands of students across three undergraduate faculties — Medicine, Dentistry, and Medical Laboratory Science.

UMST's curriculum spans far beyond medicine — encompassing engineering, business administration, law, computer science, mass communication, and more. Our graduates are trained to be competent, compassionate professionals prepared to serve communities worldwide.
