Where to Find Key UNAM Resources: eBooks, Statistics, Vacancies and More

The University of Namibia (UNAM) website, unam.edu.na, gathers its most-used resources in two places: a top-level resource row and a "Quick Links" list near the bottom of the homepage. UNAM eBooks and Online Payment/Application sit in the first group; statistics, short courses, tenders and vacancies sit in Quick Links. Use this guide if you need to reach one of these pages quickly, or if you are checking whether a resource exists before contacting the university.

eBooks: the UNAM eBooks entry

The homepage carries a dedicated UNAM eBooks item with a "Browse Here" link. It sits alongside All Courses, Online Payment and Online Application in the main resource row, so it is reachable without logging in to a student portal first. Expect the browse page to be the entry point to the library's electronic collection rather than a direct download; access to individual titles may depend on library membership, which the homepage does not spell out.

Statistics: the UNAM Stats page

Headline figures appear on the homepage, but the site explicitly directs readers elsewhere for current numbers: "For up to date data, visit the UNAM Stats page." The homepage figures are a snapshot, not a live counter, so treat them as indicative. The published snapshot includes:

Note that the page mixes vintages: one panel labels the academic calendar as 2022, another cites graduates for the 2026 academic year, and the site description mentions a student population of 19,000. For anything you will quote or rely on, go to the Stats page rather than the homepage panels.

Quick Links: short courses, tenders and vacancies

The Quick Links block at the bottom of the homepage is the fastest route to administrative resources. It includes:

• Short Courses — for non-degree and continuing education offerings
• Tenders — procurement notices
• Vacancies — staff job postings
• Academic Programmes and All Courses — the programme catalogue and prospectuses
• Online Learning, Online Payment and RPL (recognition of prior learning)
• International Students and the ISBP 2025-2030 document
• Statistics, UNAM Cares, UNAM Foundation, Upcoming Conferences, Student Intake and Research Initiatives
• 2024 HAIC Booklet, Academic Workload, Chancellor's Innovation Fund and the MEA Tracking Platform

If a link you remember is missing, check the Quick Links list before searching the site — it is where the university concentrates these items.

Research and innovation news

Research content has its own section on the homepage, headed Research & Innovation News with an "Explore RID News" link. It reports active project counts and recent developments, such as a UNAM-led One Health initiative in the Zambezi community and a UNAM Cares organic waste-to-food project recognised by the FAO. The same area links to Research Initiatives and Active Projects for a fuller view.

Faculties and campuses

The homepage lists four faculties, each with a linked page:

• Faculty of Agriculture, Engineering & Natural Sciences
• Faculty of Commerce, Management & Law
• Faculty of Education & Human Sciences
• Faculty of Health Sciences & Veterinary Medicine

These are the entry points for programme-level information; the 17 schools sit within them across the 12 campuses.

Practical tips

• Start at the homepage resource row for eBooks, payment and applications; start at Quick Links for statistics, vacancies, tenders and short courses.
• Use the Stats page, not homepage panels, when figures need to be current.
• The site's news carousel displays a limited number of items and can show a "maximum number of views" message; if that happens, the news archive or the relevant faculty page is the fallback.
• The homepage does not state prices, fees or login requirements for these resources, so confirm costs and access conditions on the destination page or with the relevant office.
