A list of universities in Namibia.
There are three institutions in Namibia considered universities:[1]
- Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST, formerly the Polytechnic of Namibia, PoN) - Windhoek
- University of Namibia (UNAM) - Windhoek
- Windhoek College of Education, Khomasdal, Windhoek
- Caprivi College of Education, Katima Mulilo
- Rundu College of Education, Rundu
- Ongwediva College of Education, Ongwediva
- International University of Management (IUM), Windhoek
The four Colleges of Education are since 2010 part of the University of Namibia; They provide teacher education.[1] The Polytechnic of Namibia was de jure not a university as no provision was made in the Act by which it was created (Act 33 / 1994)[2] to carry this name. A motion for name change into Namibia's University of Science and Technology was rejected by cabinet in August 2010,[3] but approved by the same body in December 2012. The transition to university happened in subsequent years.[4]
