University of Namibia Bachelor of Science (Civil Engineering) (Honours)

What is Bachelor of Science (Civil Engineering) (Honours)?

Civil engineers fuse science and engineering with art and design to build and maintain roads, bridges, water reservoirs and a variety of other public works. They maintain the foundation of our modern society.

Entry Requirement:

To register in the Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree programme, a candidate must hold a valid National Senior Secondary Certificate (NSSC) at NSSC-O level (IGCSE level) or NSSC-H level (HIGCSE level) with passes in at least five subjects, which add up to at least 25 points, calculated using the specified UNAM scale. Equivalent qualifications are acceptable. The Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology may administer an entrance test when admission places are scarce.

The minimum entry requirements for admission into the First Year of Engineering are as follows:

• Successful completion of the Pre-engineering Year with passes in Physics, Chemistry and in all Mathematics and Statistics Modules within two academic years, or
• A score of 2 or better in Mathematics and Physical Science and a score of 3 or better in English at NSSC-H level (HIGCSE level) or equivalent qualifications. If English was not taken at NSSC-H level, at least a “B” symbol in English at NSSC-O level will be required.
• Students who have completed the First Year of Science at UNAM with passes in Physics, Chemistry and in all Mathematics and Statistics modules may be admitted to the First Year of Engineering provided they have at least a “C” symbol in English at NSSC-O level. This criterion will only be applied when there is capacity to admit.
