Addis Ababa University is a
university in
Ethiopia. It was originally named "University College of Addis Ababa" at its founding, then renamed for the former Ethiopian emperor
Haile Selassie I in 1962, receiving its current name in
1975.Although the university has six of its seven campuses within
Addis Ababa (the seventh is located in
Debre Zeit, about 45 kilometers away), it also maintains branches in many cities throughout Ethiopia, leading to the claim of being "the largest university in Africa." The government assigns qualified students to these universities upon completion of secondary school. Students also attend other private colleges, such as
Unity College.
