EnglishHow Prospective Students Can Explore Courses and Apply to UNAM Online
Updated
Start at the UNAM homepage (unam.edu.na) and use two entry points: All Courses to browse programmes and view prospectuses, and Online Application to submit an application. Before applying, narrow your choice by faculty and school, then check the prospectus for the specific programme's requirements. The site does not state application fees, deadlines, or required documents on the homepage, so confirm those on the application page or with UNAM directly before submitting.
Browsing programmes: where to start
The homepage lists All Courses with a View Prospectuses link. Use this path to move from a broad interest to a specific programme:
- Open All Courses to see the programme list.
- Use View Prospectuses to read the detailed prospectus for the programme you are considering.
- Note the faculty and school that host the programme, since this determines who handles your application and where you will study.
Use the faculty structure to narrow your choice
UNAM organises its academic offering into four faculties containing 17 schools across 12 campuses. The homepage names these faculties:
| Faculty | What it covers (as listed) |
|---|---|
| Faculty of Agriculture, Engineering & Natural Sciences | Agriculture, engineering, natural sciences |
| Faculty of Commerce, Management & Law | Commerce, management, law |
| Faculty of Education & Human Sciences | Education, human sciences |
| Faculty of Health Sciences & Veterinary Medicine | Health sciences, veterinary medicine |
If you already know your field, start with the relevant faculty and then check which of its schools offers the programme. If you are undecided, browse All Courses first and use the faculty list to group your options.
Applying online: entry point and preparation
The homepage has an Online Application section with an Apply Now link. That is the entry point for submitting an application.
The homepage does not specify what the form asks for, so prepare the standard information any university application requires and confirm the exact list on the application page:
- Personal details and contact information
- Your intended programme, faculty, and school
- Your previous qualifications and results
- Any supporting documents the programme's prospectus lists
Expected result: after completing the online application, you should receive a confirmation or reference from UNAM. Keep that record, since it is what you will use to follow up.
Common sticking points
- Choosing before checking the prospectus. Programme names can be broad; the prospectus tells you the actual entry requirements and structure.
- Assuming the homepage lists deadlines or fees. It does not. Check the application page or contact UNAM for current dates and costs rather than relying on the homepage.
- Ignoring campus location. With 12 campuses, the same faculty may teach at more than one site. Confirm where your programme is based before applying.
Other resources worth knowing
The homepage also links to UNAM eBooks (browse here) and Online Payment (pay here), plus quick links to Academic Programmes, Online Learning, International Students, Short Courses, and Statistics. If you are an international applicant, the International Students link is the relevant starting point alongside the standard application.
For current enrolment and graduate figures, the site points to a UNAM Stats page; the homepage itself shows figures such as 30,929 students across 12 campuses, which gives a sense of scale but should be checked against the stats page for up-to-date numbers.
