Vice Chancellor’s Welcome<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Welcome to the University of Namibia, affectionately known as UNAM. Established in 1992, we have grown, in just over three decades, into the university of choice for 31,037 students in 2026, learning and thriving across our 12 campuses spread nationwide.<\/p>\n

That growth is matched by recognition: UNAM continues to rise among Africa\u2019s leading universities, recently named Namibia\u2019s top higher education institution at the Best of Namibia Awards, and featuring among the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, and QS World University Rankings: Sub-Saharan Africa. These milestones reflect the quality of our teaching, research and community impact, and the dedication of our staff and students alike.<\/p>\n

Our flagship programmes in medicine, engineering, pharmacy, and veterinary medicine, together with a wide range of internationally benchmarked qualifications, prepare graduates who go on to shape industry, drive innovation and contribute meaningfully to Namibia\u2019s development and beyond.<\/p>\n

At UNAM, our doors are always open. We take pride in being a place where ambition meets opportunity, and where every student, researcher, partner and colleague, Namibian or international, has room to grow and belong.<\/p>\n

Whether you are a prospective student, an established researcher, a prospective industry partner, or a colleague considering joining our national or international staff complement, UNAM warmly welcomes you.<\/p>\n

We remain open to new partnerships and collaborations, and invite you to explore what a future with us could hold, for you and for Namibia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
