Then, in 2013, COSETCO was declared a public university, and became known as Mukuba University following the passing of Statutory Instrument number 108 of 2013.

However, in the years that followed, the Government of the Republic of Zambia was concerned at the slow pace at which the transformation of COSETCO into a full-fledged university was taking place.

Consequently, in July 2017, Mukuba University was placed under the management of the Copperbelt University for the period 2017 to 2020.

Since then, Mukuba University has been on a growth path, with accelerated and unprecedented development.
