…In the field of education, We take great plea­sure in the fact that the opening of Ethiopia’s first University is near at hand. Henceforth, students who have demonstrated their capacity and ability will no longer leave their homeland to pursue higher education. The University’s faculty is being recruit­ed and its physical plant is being established. We Ourself have presented Our Guennete Leul Palace and its grounds, inherited from Our beloved father, as a free gift to the nation, to serve as the nucleus of the University’s physical facilities, and a formal ceremony for the handing over of the Palace will be held in the near future….

We invite you to join the courses of Haile Selassie I University as a foundation of basic and higher learning that will make your study easier and with more overstanding of life principles. Those courses will be credited in the UnionJah University degree program as optional courses. We offer these courses in the blessings and love that Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie showed us with the gift of his Palace to the University. Haile Selassie I courses are part of an innovative approach of learning and based on historical and scientific research of the progress and educational development of actual Ethiopia.
