About The University
UMST is a private, non-profit making University, located in Khartoum, Sudan. UMST was established in 1996 to serve the educational needs of Sudanese, African and Arab students. In the years since its foundation the University has expanded to include 11 faculties including Medicine, Pharmacy, Medical Laboratory Sciences, Dentistry, Dental Technology, Nursing, Computer Sciences, Business Administration, Engineering, Radiology and Anesthetic Sciences.

The vision on which UMST was established was the provision of quality university graduates. We believe that in recent times, government universities in the whole of Africa and the Arab world have deteriorated in the face of diminishing resources both in terms of human experts and materials.a

UMST offers Masters degrees in Community Nursing and Pediatric Nursing, a Masters degree in Public and Tropical Health, as well as a number of other postgraduate degrees and diplomas. You will find details on the faculties, the degrees and courses offered by UMST under the various headings.

University of Medical Sciences and Technology is an accredited institution that has provided rigorous, fundamental degree programs to students for nearly 15 years. We are proud to host a community of highly motivated students and accomplished faculty, all sharing a common desire to succeed--and to make a constructive social impact.


UMST's experienced instructors and dedicated staff can help you accomplish your classes around your professional and personal obligations. Our center, library, tutoring services, and other student support programs are all designed to make your education as convenient as possible.

Our degree programs are created by industry-experienced researchers who frequently evaluate all coursework to ensure that it is current and relevant to your needs. We are committed to helping you become a scholar-expert, by teaching you to integrate academic research into your practical experience

Dentistry college building
In the effort to provide continuous development of the academic backbone of UMST it is expected that in the year 2010 we will open the new Dentistry college building which will have five floors. It is designed to hold 71 dentistry chairs. It will include two large study halls and two seminar rooms, well-equipped labs filled with the latest German-developed technology cooling systems and an air extraction system. The building will also contain an outpatient clinic, five specialised clinics and a number of administrative offices for university doctors. It will be regarded as the first of its kind in Sudan.

Sudan Development Institute
The near future continues to show the successful journey and achievements to the UMST as they have nearly completed the establishment of the Sudan Development Institute. In spite of the achievements of the university in the development of Sudan, there are still a lot of areas which require development and we hope to achieve this through the establishment of the Sudan Development Institute.

This institute will make the connection between the university and the local and international community. One of the most important issues facing the institute is the coordination of the development efforts made by the government, international agencies and NGOs, and the private sector. It is expected that this institute will bridge the gap between different sub-specialities in order to reach a qualified curriculum to solve social, economic problems facing Sudan.

The university hopes that the institute will support its positive effect on a large population locally and internationally.

College of Social and Environmental studies
There are strong justifications for the construction of such a college in the university because of the importance of social and environmental problems in Sudan and all around the world. This college will focus on studying all the aspects of Social and Environmental studies which include human behaviour, social relationships, the relationship between humans and the environment, as these are regarded as vital issues which must be examined in order to find solutions to the problems facing countries in the developing world.

The university is looking forward to providing a vital, vibrant centre where people can engage in dialogue, discussion and learning on social and environmental problems, in a context with different specialities outside traditional ways of thinking by taking into account the economic, social, cultural, environmental and ethical aspects of these issues.

Faculty of Medicine
Training to be a doctor in medicine is challenging. The constant advances in diagnosis and treatment of diseases necessitate a balanced curriculum, from teaching good bedside manner, to focusing on technologically oriented techniques in patient-management. Medicine as a discipline is based on science, the art of diagnosis and human touch in patients care. Sudan faces many health problems and these are reflected in the curriculum set by the faculty. With these challenges in mind, the Faculty of Medicine in the University was established in 1996 with the following objectives

  • To graduate medical doctors equipped with a sound scientific knowledge of medicine, trained in patients care (actual patients, not simulators or actors), and properly advised on ethical conduct and behavior.
  • To train future doctors on modern diagnostic and treatment modalities including advanced imaging techniques and advanced therapeutic treatment.
  • To enable the student to think in terms of critical analysis of medical conditions equipped with sound research methods and be able to answer a research question in an acceptable way and produce a research thesis on graduation.
  • The Faculty of Medicine is equipped with lecture theatres and advanced laboratories (Biochemistry, Physiology, Physics, Dissection room, Biology/Molecular Biology and Skills laboratory). A Teaching Hospital and a number of health centers have also been established to receive the students.
Admission Criteria
The minimum entrance requirements for admission to the Faculty of Medicine are either a Sudanese secondary school certificate or its equivalent with at least seven subjects obtained at one and the same examination. In case of O-LEVEL/IGCSE, a pass in each basic sciences subjects (Biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, English language) +any two other subjects qualify a candidate for admission (Obtained at one and the same examination).

Minimum percentage required by Sudan school certificate (or equivalent after evaluation)80%.

Scholarship: Any student who attains the highest cumulative score (not less than a cGPA of 4.00) will be eligible for a scholarship (exemption from the tuition fees for the following academic year).

Course Phases
The curriculum is based on a modified traditional curricula where integration of basic medical sciences is done with clinical teaching early on. It is based on three phases (over ten semesters = five academic years).

Phase I: a) Basic sciences: Human biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Statistics, Psychology, Computer science, English language. b) Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry with Computer science, and Scientific English, Arabic and Religious Studies, Sudanese studies are also taught. Clinical sessions are provided during this phase.

Phase II: Pathology, Microbiology, Pharmacology with Clinical Medicine, Surgery, Community Paediatrics and Child and Reproductive Health. The teaching of basic sciences is based on a clinical, problem solving approach.

Phase III: Community Medicine and Public Health, Forensic Medicine, Research Methodology and Statistics. The course leads to development of a research proposal of an original nature which is then executed and written by the student as a graduation thesis. The students should produce a thesis of good quality before they are allowed to sit for the final examination. The clinical teaching continues for three academic years including the introductory year during phase II. The course leads to the degree of MB.BS, (Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery) where the student is required to obtain satisfactory levels on Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, and Pediatrics.
