Applications for admission open in May for Postgraduate and Mature Age Entry Scheme candidates, and in June for normal applications, of the year preceding the year of study.

Mature Age Entry Scheme candidates are requested to indicate only one course of study choice, while Postgraduate and other normal applicants are requested to indicate first and second choices (if applicable) of what they wish to study, as well as the mode of study (Full-Time, Part-Time).

All applicants whose application forms are received by the University of Namibia will receive an acknowledgement letter from the Student Records Section.

All provisionally admitted students are requested to register on the specified date as indicated per Faculty. It is important to note that failing to register on the allocated date may result in forfeiture of the place or incurring a late registration fee.
