Welcome to ‘CIT Research’ through which the faculty introduces its wide range of cutting-edge ICT research activities to local and international academic community, Public/Private sector, potential collaborations, among others.
The faculty staff groups attach great importance to teaching, research and advisory activities in areas of: Information Systems; Information Technology; Computer Science; Software Engineering; Computer Engineering; Data Communications and Computer Networks; and ICT for Sustainable Development. Teaching and research by staff members is committed to building on its existing strengths and to encourage the development of new research where potential exists. The funding of various research activities comes through collaborations with various universities in Africa, Europe and USA.

To strengthen research management, the faculty management set up a Graduate Studies and Research Office with the staff and students of CIT in mind to act as an internal communications vehicle to coordinate and disseminate the latest research developments and activities. The office seeks to realize its vision of fostering and furthering responsible conduct of research through educating and assisting all categories of researchers (staff and graduate students) in the Faculty. The Office initiates and coordinates a wide range of research activities, visiting researchers and public events.
