A team from CUT participated in the Namibia Khomas Regional Student Recruitment Career Fair from 29 May to 02 June 2016 as part of CUT’s internationalization strategy of increasing admission of students from SADC region.
On the day, the recruitment team from the University shared information such as registration and admission processes for international students, application fees and closing dates, academic programmes, South African point systems and SAQA applications prerequisites.
CUT has reserved at least five percent of admissions for students from other SADC nations in line with SADC Protocol under Education and Training and its internationalisation strategy. This fair, which attracted thousands of the top achieving Namibian learners, helped the University to increase its footprint in SADC region, as there are still more of these recruitment drives within the region planned in the near future.
The team – which consisted of Mr. Danny Bokaba, International Office,, Mr Mdlali Kambule, Academic Administration and Dr Moreku, Communications and Marketing from Welkom Campus- later paid a courtesy call to the South African High Commission in Namibia and met with Deputy Head of Mission, Mr Eli Bitzer and his team to discuss compliance and study requirements in South African universities under the SADC Protocol and ways of working closely with the High Commission in Namibia.
Currently, there are over 5000 Namibian students studying in SADC region and abroad. The Ministry of Education and the South African High Commission in Namibia are planning to develop stronger ties with the existing partners and expand their relations with other countries. The education sector in Namibia is currently undergoing reforms to prepare students for the current world market to meet the demands of the global economy. Scholarships are available for top students to study abroad mostly in Health Science and all engineering courses.
