Founded 1962 (as Estudos Gerais Universitários; renamed Agostinho Neto University in 1985). Angola's largest public university and the flagship national institution, named after Agostinho Neto, the country's first president. In 2009 the original multi-campus university was reorganised: six regional campuses became autonomous universities (Katyavala Bwila in Benguela, 11 de Novembro in Cabinda, José Eduardo dos Santos in Huambo, Mandume ya Ndemufayo in Lubango, Lueji A'Nkonde in Malanje, Kimpa Vita in Uíge). UAN now serves Luanda and Bengo provinces with ~20,000–24,000 students across 7 faculties spanning law, economics, engineering, medicine, sciences, education, and letters. Ranked #1 in Angola (2025).
Always confirm a university's current accreditation with
the named national authority, and that the qualification is recognised in
the country where you intend to use it, before enrolling or paying any
fees. AlmiStudy records information to help you check — it is not an
endorsement.
Why this is free
AlmiStudy is part of AlmiWorld. It is free because its purpose is to
help people find their way to education — and the wider project
supports the Shamool Foundation, a free school for street children in
Lahore (60 students, lunch, books and uniforms provided).
