The easiest way for students to get to know new countries and cultures is to do an internship or to study in a foreign country. With a semester at the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) you have the opportunity to advance your studies and, additional to that, to experience African culture and traditions. Through our international Partnerships we provide world wide recognized courses in different fields of studies.
For more information about the Namibia University of Science and Technology, Namibia and Windhoek, international students can order the NUST Booklet from the contact-persons listed on the International Relations Department staff page.
