Marondera University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology (MUAST)

The Act of Marondera University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology was promulgated in 2015. The University was declared an independent institution in August 2017 following its incubation by the University of Zimbabwe since 2012. It started its academic activities at the Dozmery Campus since 2013. The University opened another Campus at the Cold Storage Commission (CSC) Complex in 2018 with a view to increase the Institution’s visibility and aggressively market its unique academic brand. MUAST has witnessed two streams of graduates in Crop and Animal Sciences disciplines.

The University will soon start the construction of its own world class main Campus at its Cloverhill Farm, approximately 5 km from Marondera Town.
