Admissions Requirements

Although there may be some similarities between the admissions requirements from persons interested in enrolling into undergraduates, postgraduates or doctorate programs, the university updates its requirement every other year.

This means that what may be required from applicants one academic year may be different from what will be required from another set of applicants another academic year. This equally means that under any of the listed programs are specified requirements.

Here are the requirements;

• A pass in English at the Senior Certificate level plus the minimum additional language as specified programs may require applicants first or home language status.
• Every course has its very own set of admission requirements.
• Applicants should be in the know that admission requirements of individual programs are liable to change.
• For some selected and categorized set of programs, it will be required of students to write admission to substantiate and determine if they will be offered the course they have chosen.
• All applicants are required to either one of the two subjects for NSC-G purposes. For chosen programs that require prior knowledge in the field otherwise, being literate in Mathematic alone is enough.

Postgraduate Diploma Requirement

• A Bachelor Degree 
• Or admission to status of that degree
• Or an attained level of competence
• Advanced Diploma for entry into a postgraduate diploma if and only if Higher Education Qualification Framework requirements are met and this does not apply to all schools.
