Kampala, Uganda – Victoria University, Uganda’s premier hub for transformative education, has unveiled an inspiring opportunity for Senior Four (S4) graduates who didn’t secure a spot in A-Level programs. This initiative offers a fresh start, empowering students to carve out rewarding careers through practical, hands-on technical skills training.
“Missed out on A-Level admission? Don’t worry—your future is still bright! Join Victoria University’s Institute of Advanced Technical Studies and kickstart a successful career with real-world skills,” the university announced in an upbeat message across its social media channels.

Located at the heart of Victoria University, the Institute of Advanced Technical Studies is designed to equip S4 leavers with valuable, practical expertise while providing a pathway to further their academic journey. It’s a chance to turn potential setbacks into stepping stones.
Dr. Lawrence Muganga, the university’s dynamic Vice Chancellor, echoed this sentiment in a heartfelt post on X. “To all S4 graduates: not joining A-Level isn’t the end of your story—it’s the beginning of a new chapter. At our Institute of Advanced Technical Studies, we’re offering you a vibrant opportunity to gain in-demand skills and build a foundation for a thriving career in today’s fast-paced world,” he shared.
With the application deadline looming on February 28, Dr. Muganga urged students to act quickly and encouraged families and friends to spread the word. “Let’s make sure no one misses this chance to unlock their potential,” he added.
Renowned for its forward-thinking, industry-aligned approach, Victoria University is once again breaking barriers with this initiative. By bridging the gap for students who might otherwise face limited options, the university underscores the power of technical and vocational education in shaping Uganda’s future workforce. It’s a bold step that reaffirms VU’s dedication to preparing young people to excel in an ever-evolving job market.
