The school's campus is located at Plot 21A Port Bell Road, in Nakawa Division, one of the five administrative divisions of Kampala, the capital and largest city of Uganda, approximately 5.5 kilometres (3 mi), by road, east of the city centre. The coordinates of the school campus are: 0°19'42.0"N 32°36'59.0"E (Latitude:0.328333; Longitude:32.616389).
History
MUBS was established in the 1960s as National College of Business Studies (NCBS), the national college of business studies. It offered business and management diplomas as well as professional training in business. At that time, the college offered diplomas, the main ones being the Uganda Diploma in Business Studies and the Higher Diploma in Marketing.
In 1997, Faculty of Commerce at Makerere University was merged with NCBS, thereby creating MUBS, a constituent college of Makerere University. The staff and students of both institutions were brought together at the 45 acres (18Â ha) campus at Nakawa, approximately 5.5 kilometres (3.4Â mi), east of Kampala's central business district.
In 2001, due to changes in the laws of Uganda, MUBS transformed from a constituent college of Makerere University to a "public tertiary institution" affiliated to Makerere University. However this arrangement did not work well, resulting in Makerere introducing competing duplicate courses at the main campus, while MUBS started to agitate for complete autonomy. Finally in 2012, the autonomy sought by MUBS was granted by the Uganda Ministry of Education and Sports.
Autonomy
In January 2012, Ugandan media reported that MUBS will break away from Makerere University and reconstitute itself into an independent university. This will result in the change of its name to a new name, yet to be determined.
In August 2013, Uganda's Attorney General began drafting the necessary legislation to separate MUBS from Makerere University. The draft was expected to be presented to the Ugandan Parliament for debate and enactment into law.
