Universidade Púnguè is a Mozambican Public University, multicampus, based in the city of Manica. The University emerged from the separation of the Manica and Tete hubs from the Pedagogical University amid the reform in Mozambican Higher Education that took place in 2019. Its primary area of activity is in the provinces of Manica and Tete. The name of the university, as well as most Public Higher Education Institutions in the country, refers to a river, in this case the Púnguè River.
