The METHODIST UNIVERSITY OF ANGOLA(Portuguese: Universidade Metodista de Angola) is a confessional institution governed by private law, authorized by the Government of the Republic of Angola through Decree No. 30/07.
The Methodist University of Angola therefore results from over a century of firm Methodist action in basic education throughout the national territory. It was created in the episcopate of Bishop Gaspar João Domingos in 2007 in the effort of national reconstruction that resulted from the Peace and Reconciliation Agreement. The University is part of a global network of over 800 universities and schools on all continents, affiliated with the International Association of Methodist Schools, Colleges and Universities (IAMSCU). It is based on the Methodist movement's commitments to universal access education, to human promotion, to the dialogue between faith and science, to freedom of thought and expression. These are precepts established since the founding of Kingswood School by the Reverend John Wesley, England, in 1748, during the Industrial Revolution.
