The university is organised into three colleges: the college of basic and applied sciences, the college of humanities, and the college of management and social sciences. Within each college are a number of departments, offering both undergraduate and graduate degree programmes.
Outside the classroom students are encouraged to participate in the university’s extracurricular activities. There are a number of different sports clubs on offer for students to join such as football, basketball and volleyball.
