Nashilongo Gervasius, Acting Director of the Department of Corporate Engagement and Internationalisation, said that the general minimum admission requirement for NUST is 25 points in five subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis requirement is instituted by the University\u2019s highest decision-making body\u2014the Senate\u2014and has long been in place. In addition to the general admission requirements, specific programmes have defined eligibility criteria. NUST welcomes applicants who are holders of the Namibia Senior Secondary Certificate Ordinary Level (NSSCO), as a national qualification approved and recognised by the national examination body. This serves as the primary basis for our admission requirements in certificate, diploma, and degree programmes,\u201d Gervasius explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, she highlighted that NUST offers intervention programmes such as the Introduction to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (InSTEM) programme, a bridging course for students aspiring to enrol in STEM degrees. The admission requirement for this programme is 25 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur non-STEM bridging programme has an admission requirement of 22 points. Finally, the University\u2019s recruitment process is currently ongoing, with applications still open for a limited number of programmes. We encourage those who meet our requirements to join others who are seeking admission with us,\u201d Gervasius added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
