Welcome to University of Northeastern Somalia, where real dreams start.

University of Northeastern Somalia (UNS) is a new community of scholarship and learning that stands for the nation’s service and the service of humanity. The educational mission of UNS is to prepare students to pursue meaningful scholarship and professional lives, thus helping address the challenges of our future and that of the generations to come. To this end, UNS aims to enroll the most capable students from all parts of Somalia and to provide them with an educational experience that strengthens their intellects, sharpens their skills, expands their horizons, and prepares them for leadership and research— all while pursuing the highest possible standards of excellence. UNS will serve as the missing link between theory and practice that other higher education institutions in Puntland failed to provide. While several degree-granting universities exist in Puntland, none came close to addressing the scholarship and professional quality concerns that Puntlanders have been asking lately.
