Guide to Prospective Students - 2020
Welcome To The Namibia University of
Science and Technology (NUST)!
Thank you for the interest you have shown in our University. We are continuously working towards becoming a world-class and truly
entrepreneurial institution. It is indeed a bold vision, but an achievable one, particularly when we are building on a strong foundation of applied
research and innovation, educating some of the nation’s most sought-after professionals and working closely with industry.
Since its inception 23 years ago, the Institution has grown to become the nation’s top performer in higher education as evidenced by PMR Africa
reviews and several other notable accolades. NUST is growing steadily and our academic and research programmes range across a growing
number of disciplines at undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral levels.
NUST has embraced the Namibian government’s ‘Growth at Home‘ industrial strategy, underpinned by the National Development Plans (NDPs)
and Vision 2030. Our staff and students have also embraced wholeheartedly, NUST’s strong commitment to community engagement and
outreach, as well as sustainable development. We are building inter- and multi-disciplinary alliances and collaborative partnerships with
industry and research institutions, at home and abroad, in order to keep pace with a fast-paced world, amid globalisation and giant leaps in
technological advances. We understand that success is based on high quality courses, and state-of-the-art facilities, in a friendly ambiance,
in addition to experienced and dedicated staff. This enables us to meet market demands and ensure that our graduates are employable,
specifically as we are on the brink of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Higher education globally is in a period of transition and the concept of world-class universities is becoming embedded in governmental and
institutional policies. This is in order to promote research and innovation and to improve national competitiveness in a globalised world.
As you would expect from an innovative institution, we are constantly interested in discussing forward-looking projects and forging a progressive
agenda with partners in academe, industry, government and civic society, locally and internationally. These partnerships and collaborations
are mutually beneficial and are set to deliver unique solutions. We therefore, thank our existing stakeholders and invite prospective partners
to engage us.
