Dear our website visitors, it is my pleasure to say welcome to Debre Berhan University official website page. I am very excited to provide this message to you on behalf of Debre Berhan University (DBU). Debre Berhan University is a public higher education institution established in 2007 by the decree no. 61/1999 E.C of the Council of Ministers of the FDRE. Since its establishment, DBU has been striving hard to achieve its triple mandates of producing efficient graduates by offering research assisted quality education, undertaking problem solving research on some selected thematic areas and offering community engagement training, consultancy service, transferring technology and undertaking innovations.
Currently, Debre Berhan University, in addition to the academic programs being offered on its main campus, has started providing training in two new campuses, namely Asrat Woldeyes Health Science Campus located in Debre Berhan City Administration and Mehal-Meda campus that is Highland Agriculture and Tourism Research has begun teaching learning process in 2017 E.C .Hakim Gizaw Memorial Teaching Hospital has also started carrying out its duty with modern technologies and facilities which enhance the medication process and treatment of patients. Besides this Minilik II Technology Institute and center are under construction.
Currently DBU is differentiated as an Applied Science Universities since 2020. Universities of Applied Sciences offer Bachelor and Master Degree programs that reflect a direct link to the professional field and have a firm element of job-oriented development in their curriculum. Universities of Applied Science’s education concept is based on the principle that a student should be highly employable after graduation, or indeed able to employ themselves – especially through understanding the basic principles of operation and management within the industry field that they have studied for.
The thematic areas that were identified by Debre Berhan University focused on research and technology transfer. In doing so a large number of individuals and joint endeavors participated. There is a growing need on these selected areas as DBU is now transitioning towards becoming an Applied University. Thus, we are working on extensive research engagements involving our academic staff and graduate students, and there is a promising progress in collaborative projects with all our partners over the years. In general, there is a need for us to work harder on the direction of knowledge dissemination and publication by ensuring the quality and relevance of our research undertakings. In addition, the Community Engagements comprise a wide range of activities and professional support rendered by individuals and/or groups from DBU to the surrounding community. Debre Berhan University has been engaged in delivering diversified community services to the nearby society directed towards demand-driven and relevant areas. However, we need to work harder to improve our community services by actively engaging the beneficiaries for better impacts and sustainability. Currently, DBU looks forward to collaborating with local , regional, national and international stakeholders to enhance its functions. We are committed to maintaining a favorable work environment that fosters collaboration and partnership.
We should continue our devotion to build an exciting future for our university together, as your continued dedication, support, and enthusiasm will be the foundation of our success. I believe that you will be impressed by what this university is striving to do and confident that it will emerge with its significant impact on national and global development. The motto of our university is “Practical Knowledge for the Better Success!”
Hence, academic and administrative staffs of Debre Berhan University as well as students are expected to exert their maximum endeavors to contribute for the betterment of their university. We welcome you to explore our website. Your interest and enthusiasm are highly valued and appreciated.
