The Universidade Eduardo Mondlane (Portuguese, 'Eduardo Mondlane University') is the oldest and largest university in Mozambique. The UEM is located in Maputo and has about 8,000 students.

[edit] History

The institution was set up as a center for higher education in 1962 in what was then Lourenço Marques, the capital of Portugal's province of Mozambique, being called Estudos Gerais Universitários de Moçambique (Mozambique General University Studies); in 1968 it was named Universidade de Lourenço Marques (University of Lourenço Marques). When Mozambique gained independence in 1975, the city was renamed "Maputo" and the university was renamed in honor of Frelimo leader Eduardo Mondlane.
