Research and innovation
MIUC focuses on research in education, youth formation, and social transformation, grounded in Marist educational traditions that emphasise holistic formation and concern for the most neglected. The Department of Education and Social Sciences conducts research on pedagogical approaches, values-based education, and the formation of young people in African contexts, drawing on the Marist Brothers' centuries-long educational experience. The Department of Business investigates ethical entrepreneurship, social enterprise, and value-based business management from a Marist perspective. The Department of Arts and Social Sciences contributes research on social transformation, community development, and intercultural education. The Master's degree in Psycho-Spiritual Therapy and Counselling generates research on mental health, spiritual formation, and counselling practices in African contexts. Partnership with CUEA connects MIUC to the broader Catholic university network, while the Marist Brothers' global network links the college to Marist educational institutions across Africa and beyond. Research output increasingly informs Marist educational practice, youth ministry, and values-based education across the African region.
