The UAN School of Medicine was founded in 1963 as the Faculty of Medicine of the Estudos Gerais Universitários de Angola (EGUA), a Portuguese colonial university. After Angola’s independence in 1975, the EGUA was renamed the Universidade de Angola, and the Faculty of Medicine became the UAN School of Medicine. It offers a 6-year undergraduate program leading to the Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree. The school also provides postgraduate programs, including Master’s and Doctorate degrees in various medical specialties.
The university has over 30,000 students, of which about 2,000 are enrolled in the School of Medicine. The university has a student-to-faculty ratio 15:1. In 2022, the UAN was ranked 72nd in Africa by the Times Higher Education World University Rankings.
