Background of the Organization

Admas University commenced its operation in October 1998 under the name “Admas Business Training Centre.” Then Training Centre then started delivering training services in certain tailor–made, six–month, short–term programmes. By undertaking deep assessments of further training needs and making preparations in terms of the required human and material resources, the centre upgraded itself to a college status as of April 1999. After deep objective assessments of further training needs and making preparations in accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of Education, the College was upgraded to the status of a University College as of March 2007. Admas University has become a fully fledged university as of July 2014 (Hamlie 2006 E.C.).
With the objective of expanding its quality services, the University opened ten (10) colleges/campuses/faculties so far. Eight of these campuses are found in Ethiopia among which six are in Addis Ababa while the rest two are in Bishoftu and Mekelle towns. The other two campuses are located out of Ethiopia_ in the Capitals of Somaliland and Puntland (i.e. Hargeissa and Garowe, respectively). Apart from the regular mode, the University also has a Distance Education College with more than 50 (fifty) coordination offices throughout the country.
