Research assessment | · Increase on the number of external examiners. · Subcommittees to approve students’ proposals should be revitalized. · Set deadlines and penalties for students who fail to complete on time. · Train students on data analysis packages so as to enable students understand their research work better. · Review masters programme structures and merge some course units to create time for research. · Viva voce should be held promptly whenever external supervisors send reports. · Supervisor―student ratio be improved to handle the increasing number of masters students. |
Library facilities | · Upload all the previous students’ research on the database for easy access. · Up-to-date research books should be availed in the library. · Subscribe to the online international journals to access research articles. · Improve on the internet connectivity, availability and speed. |
Teaching | · Improve on the teaching facilities for masters students. · Improve on the class room facilities for masters programmes. · Organize special classes/recess semester for finalists with retakes. · Improve on the institutional structure between Makerere University and Makerere University Business School. |
