Welcome to the Lutheran University of Papua New Guinea Web Site!

LUPNG - A new and exciting Lutheran University for Papua New Guinea committed to excellence in tertiary education and service to the church will open as soon as program, finance, and infrastructure is in place.

Mission Statement:

The mission of the Lutheran University of Papua New Guinea is to conscientiously provide a Christian education for individuals through “Teaching”, “Researching”, and preparing them for “Service” in the church and community as servant leaders.

Vision Statement:

The Establishment Committee of the Lutheran University Papua New Guinea (LUPNG) has a compelling vision to establish a new Lutheran University at Lae and to unify under that umbrella the distinctive institutions of Martin Luther Seminary and Balob Teachers College.

What is Happening?

LUPNG is instituting a four-year Degree Granting Lutheran University. It is now preparing to be open to students of all faith and ethnic backgrounds.

The University will encourage Professional Development and support Advanced Degrees for Lectures in PNG who are committed to teach at LUPNG. LUPNG has contracted Charles Sturt University from New South Wales to provide this service. This is an extremely important undertaking as there is a critical need to upgrade the existing faculty and provide well-qualified lectures with an emphasis on Early Childhood Education for the Lutheran University

 

Currently LUPNG has contracted Infratec Management Consultants to develop a Master Plan for new and renovated buildings so as to provide an attractive, comfortable, and well-planned campus in Lae. The stakeholders desire the master plan to insure a sound, uniquie, quality, and a high-powered model-university for Papua New Guinea.

The master plan will determine how the University’s infrastructure will be organized, maintained, and phased in.  It will give stakeholders an idea of how the University will look in 10, 20, or even 50 years.
