As an academic community, we continuously strive to produce enhanced economic utility through scholarly activities, as expressed in discovering, preserving and applying knowledge.
The Institution was established in 1994 through an Act of Parliament and is situated in the heart of the City of Windhoek, Namibia. Since then the University has grown to become a top performing higher education institution and was rewarded many rewards including the PMR Africa Reviews.
Currently, NUST has over 11,000 students studying on a full-time, part-time and distance education basis. It consists of six Faculties namely, Computing and Informatics; Engineering, Health and Applied
Sciences, Human Sciences, Management Sciences, Natural Resources and Spatial Sciences. Additionally, the University established the Harold Pupkewitz - Graduate School of Business (HP-GSB) to provide world-class business education that meets the needs of economy and society in Namibia, SADC and Africa.
Our qualifications are nationally and internationally recognised through a rigorous development and approval process including benchmarking and quality assurance.
All our students are equipped with relevant computer skills and knowledge of information systems. Our campus has wireless connections in strategic places enabling students to use their own computers to access the Student Kiosk, Webmail and Internet. With almost 2000 computers available in Computer Labs all over the main campus and regional centres, students can use these facilities to quickly access the Internet between and after classes.
Admission Point ScaleNUST uses the Admission Point Scale to facilitate admission based on your school-leaving results. Your school-leaving subject symbols or percentages are converted into points, then added up to determine if you have obtained the minimum number of points required to be considered for entry into your preferred programme of study.
Note:
1. English is always counted in the calculation of points.
2. Mathematical Literacy (NSC) is not accepted for programmes requiring Mathematics as an admission requirement

Message from the Dean
A warm welcome to all prospective students. As a Faculty, we recognise the importance of producing globally competitive graduates as development challenges increasingly interlink and intertwine beyond geographic and language divides. We ensure graduates champion the development aspirations outlined in NDP 2030 and espouse the values of NUST. Below, I share briefly the Departmental offerings including some of the career opportunities for our graduates.
The Department of Communication offers undergraduate and graduate programmes in Communication, English, Journalism and Media Technology. Graduates from this Department have brought passion and energy to professions such as teaching, journalism and public relations and the media. They serve in public and private sectors while others have ventured into cultural industries as entrepreneurs providing employment opportunities for the youth. Some graduates enrolled in the Master in English and Applied Linguistics programme affirming the need for post-graduate studies in the Faculty.
The Department of Education and Languages offers Technical and Vocational Education collaborating with stakeholders in the education and international development sectors. The TVET sector was identified as critical for driving youth skills development and employment in NDP 2030 and the Harambee Plan of Action. This has given impetus to our internal curriculum development process. Further, the global interest in enhancing and re-positioning TVET education has added to our own vigour to develop vibrant and relevant TVET programmes. The Department of Social Sciences offers a diverse range of programmes cutting across criminal justice, legal studies and public management. The criminal justice programme offers learning opportunities in policing and correctional management. The Department has developed crucial stakeholder partnerships with the Namibia Police Service and the Namibia Correctional Services. We value these partnerships given the challenges
of law enforcement, peace, security and justice at national and global levels. The public management programme has facilitated the development of critical
capabilities at local and regional levels. The Department’s contribution to building capacity for good governance in Namibia and across the continent
cannot be underestimated. As a Faculty, we believe our programmes will contribute to building just and safe communities and meeting the
aspirations of the Africa Union’s Agenda 2063.
