The Faculty of Graduate Studies & Research (FGSR) serves as the University’s academic and research hub for postgraduate education, advanced scholarship and scientific research, developing professionals, researchers and future leaders who generate knowledge and innovative solutions for Somalia’s development.
The Faculty was officially established in 1985. Following the collapse of the Somali state in 1991, it suspended operations along with the University, and in 2020 it was re-established as part of the University’s revitalisation efforts.
Today, the Faculty supports master’s degree programmes, postgraduate diploma programmes, interdisciplinary research and professional development. It also provides academic support for postgraduate students, including research supervision, thesis management, research ethics, academic writing and research dissemination.
