Welcome to the Institute of Technology (IoT) at Hawassa University (HU).

As a flagship institute committed to excellence in engineering education, research, and innovation, HU-IoT plays a critical role in shaping Ethiopia’s technological future. Since its transformation from the former Faculty of Technology in 2009, our Institute has grown into a vibrant academic community that upholds the highest standards of teaching, research, and community engagement.

At HU-IoT, we offer a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs through five specialized faculties. These programs are designed not only to equip students with strong theoretical foundations but also to cultivate practical skills, innovation, and entrepreneurial thinking—attributes that are essential in today’s rapidly evolving world.

We take pride in our qualified academic staff, modern laboratories, and strong partnerships with industry and international institutions. Our focus on applied research and technology transfer supports the development of locally driven solutions to national and global challenges. We also actively contribute to capacity building and sustainable development through community service and consultancy.

As the Scientific Director, I am dedicated to leading this Institute toward even greater achievements by fostering a culture of academic excellence, ethical leadership, and continuous improvement. Whether you are a prospective student, researcher, industry partner, or visitor, I invite you to explore the opportunities we offer and join us in our mission to build a better future through science and technology.

Thank you for your interest in HU-IoT. We look forward to collaborating with you.

Warm regards,
