DE5 APPLICATION AND REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

Refer to Rule GI2 of the University’s Yearbook Part 1 for Admission Criteria. Special admission requirements for certain
programmes are spelt out in Departmental regulations. Such special requirements should be met in addition to the normal
admission requirements.
All prospective students must apply for admission to the Namibia University of Science and Technology on the prescribed
application form. Application forms are available on request from the Office of the Registrar and from Regional Centres.
Application forms are also available on the University’s website: http://www.nust.na. All applications must be accompanied by
the relevant fees. The closing date for all applications is the last working day in September for the undergraduate application
and mature age closer to end of July preceding the year in which admission is sought. Applicants will be notified as soon as
possible after the closing date whether their application for admission have been successful or not. Registration dates are
published in the University’s Yearbook, appear on the University’s website: http://www.nust.na and are advertised in the
media. These dates are applicable to all categories of students.
(a) By signing the registration form, the student inter alia declares that s/he is familiar with the contents of this Yearbook and
the regulations for his/her degree/diploma/certificate, and that s/he undertakes to strictly obey all rules and regulations of
the University.
(b) Students who live in or in the vicinity of Windhoek or one of the Regional Centers may personally register at the respective
offices. If a student registers IN PERSON, s/he will receive all available instructional material upon payment of the initial
installment of fees.
(c) In the case of previously registered students, the student retains the existing student number allocated to him/her the first
time s/he registered. THIS NUMBER MUST BE INDICATED ON HIS/HER REGISTRATION FORM. A new number will not be
issued. Students must indicate the proposed qualification on the registration form. If this qualification is not indicated, the
registration form will be regarded as incomplete, leading to possible disqualification of registration.
(d) Upon issuing/receiving of instructional material, students are responsible to verify and ensure that they received the
correct instructional material for the course(s) they registered for. Assignments based on wrong instructional material
and tutorial letters will not be accepted for marking.
Note: Instructional materials should be collected on/before the last working day in February for first semester materials
and in July for second semester materials. No materials will be issued to students after these dates.
(e) Duplicate instructional material will be available to purchase for distance education students:

For 2019 Fees, please see the separate fees booklet.
DE6 REGISTRATION AND RE-REGISTRATION

(a) Any person who wishes to be registered as a student at the University for a particular academic year must complete the
official registration form and sign it (by which s/he subjects him/herself to the regulations of the University), must pay the
prescribed fees and, except if already produced, must produce documentary proof that all admission requirements have
been met for the study of the qualification for which a student wishes to register. In exceptional cases, the University may
grant permission that documentary proof may be handed in not later than 31 May each year, failing which a student’s
registration will immediately be cancelled, and s/he will forfeit his/her tuition fees in accordance with the stipulations of the
paragraph under “Fees” in Part 1 of the NUST Yearbook. The relevant sections under “General Information” are applicable
for further information, including the closing dates and the basic requirements for registration.
(b) The University may set a final registration date for a specific academic year after which a student may no longer register,
and may refuse any application for registration if the student’s completed registration form, the prescribed fees and/or the
required documentary proof in support of his/her application do not reach the University before the fixed closing date.
(c) A student who was previously registered at another tertiary institution and did not obtain a degree, diploma or a certificate
at the end of his/her last year of registration, must (if a decision can be made based on the information on his application
forms) submit a satisfactory certificate of conduct and an original report of his/her complete academic record, issued by the
Registrar of the previous institution, during his/her first year of registration not later than 31 May each year, failing which his/
her registration will be cancelled immediately.
(d) Re-registration may be refused in the case of a student whose academic progress does not satisfy Senate/the relevant Board
of Studies. In cases where permission for re-registration is granted, it will be done only on conditions as determined by the
University.
(e) Students who find themselves unable to continue with their studies are required to cancel such courses. If courses are not
cancelled, it will be viewed as a failure on the side of the student to make satisfactory academic progress. Cancellation forms
are available from COLL and the Regional Centres. The closing date for all cancellations is the last working day in April for 1st
[6]
semester courses and the last working day in September for 2nd semester courses. The relevant sections under “Termination
of Studies”, Rule AC1.4 and “REFUNDS” Rules F.7.1.1 – F.7.1.9 are applicable for further information, including the closing
dates and the basic requirements for cancellation of courses/termination of studies.
DE7 DOCUMENTS TO BE PRODUCED

When students register for the first time, the following original documents must be handed in together with the student’s
application for registration:
(a) original certificate of the relevant admission qualification;
(b) original Namibian identity document;
(c) original marriage certificate in case of married women.
If the student was previously registered at any other tertiary institution, and s/he has suspended his/her studies before
the completion of the degree or diploma for which s/he was registered, s/he must produce the following documents
together with his/her application for registration:
(a) original certificate of conduct;
(b) original report of full academic record.
The above documentation must be issued by the institution where the qualification was obtained. All qualifications must be
certified before submission to the University.
DE8 CHANGING REGISTRATION

(a) Students who wish to cancel their studies at the University must complete the prescribed form (Refer to DE6 (e)). Students
are referred to the section on fees in connection with the repayment of money.
(b) Note that the closing date for course amendments is the last working day in February (1st semester and year courses) and
the last working day in July (2nd semester courses) each year. This date also applies to applications for course exemptions.
Cancellations can, however, still be done after this date (Refer to DE6 (e)).
(c) Late Registration, course amendments and change of mode of study, i.e. change from full-time/part-time to the distance
education mode of study is subject to the availability of instructional material and the time available to submit assignments
as indicated on the approved assignment schedule.
(d) In the case of a change of address and/or examination center, students are requested to communicate the change of address
on their student kiosk as soon as the relevant change happens.
DE9 METHOD OF INSTRUCTION

Distance education is a unique method of instruction and study. It is unique in the sense that instruction and learning take
place with the instructor/tutor and the students in different places for most of the time. In the COLL the main medium of
instruction is the printed word supplemented with multi-media and eLearning, which enable students to study at home. It
is therefore possible for students to study when and where they wish and they can link their academic studies with their
practical work.
The instructional material for each course will be supplied to students when they pay their tuition fees upon registration.
The main form of material is the printed study guide, consisting of a number of units with activities for the students to
complete to assess their own understanding of the course. Usually prescribed or supplementary reading is recommended.
The supplementary reading material may be a reader, which will be supplied with the printed study guide, or a prescribed
textbook, which should be bought. Each course also includes assignments which must be completed on time and send to
the COLL for tutor-marking. The marks gained for an assignment form part of the final assessment for the course. Each
assignment also receives a tutorial comment which is sent back to students to assist them in their studies.
The COLL is aware of the difficult circumstances in which many of its students have to study, and therefore provides assistance
to enable students to derive full benefit from their studies. Tutors are assigned for each course to help students with academic
problems they may have. Students may consult the tutor by letter, by phone at certain specified times, email or by a pre-
arranged visit.
DE10 STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES

The COLL provides the following support services:
(a) Marker-tutoring
Assignments coming from students are used as a teaching tool and marker-tutors therefore do not just mark in a conventional
sense, but also give the necessary advice and encouragement on how students may improve and make progress toward being
successful at the end of a semester.
[7]
(b) Telephone/email-tutoring
Marker-tutors are available for tutoring and academic advice through telephone- and email correspondence. Students will be
provided with a list of their tutors’ telephone numbers and email addresses upon registration. Students are advised to please
make use of this service.
(c) Face-to-face tutorials/Saturday tutorials

These tutorials are organised in Windhoek and at the various Regional Centres on Saturdays. Notice of such tutorials will be
provided to students by the: Coordinators: Academic Support (COLL); and the Regional Coordinators. Students should make
every effort to attend these tutorials.
(d) Vacation Schools

Vacation schools are offered two times a year, during April and August in Windhoek. Notice of such vacation schools will be
sent to students from time to time. Although attendance at vacation schools is usually optional, students are strongly advised
to make use of this service. It is a valuable opportunity for students to benefit, not only for academic purposes, but also to

Please refer to the first tutorial letter on these courses for more detail.
(f) Multi-media and eLearning

The instructional material for some courses is also supplemented with CD’s and/or DVD’s, which students will receive upon
registration as part of their instructional material.
Tutoring and student support through mobile learning tutorials and/or tele teaching tutorials are also offered for some courses.
Teleteaching: Is tutoring through the Internet in real time (live) whereby students connect with their tutor and participate in an
online tutorial from wherever they are. Students and tutors are not constrained by place like in a normal face-to-face tutorial
session. All that is needed is a reliable internet connection and a headset to connect at the agreed scheduled time. These
facilities and internet connectivity are available at the COLL Regional Centres across the country.
Mobile Learning (elearning): Some of the ways in which mobile phones can be used to support distance education students are
providing access to electronic resources to supplement existing study materials; providing the means to facilitate collaborative
learning; providing the means to have regular contact with the tutor/lecturer; and creating opportunities for regular formative
assessment with feedback.
[8]
Reference to tutorial support by means of these additional media will be stipulated in the first tutorial letter of the relevant
course.
(g) eLearning: COLL offers eLearning as another mode of study in addition to full-time, part-time and conventional distance
education at the Namibia University of Science and Technology. The tuition fees for eLearning courses are the same as that
for courses delivered through the full-time, part-time and distance education modes of study. The COLL eLearning courses can
be accessed through the website at elearning.nust.na/elearn Students need to be registered in the eLearning mode of study
before they can gain access to the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) for eLearning courses. Students who wish to study via
eLearning must register as an eLearning student during the normal registration period and attend a compulsory face-to-face
orientation session at COLL or one of the Regional Centres. The orientation session introduce students to eLearning and the
VLE.
Studying via eLearning enables students to:

• access additional material directly from the course site
• be guided through the course on a week-by-week basis
• have a dedicated tutor who will provide online support during the duration of the course
• interact regularly with the tutor and fellow students
• submit assignments via the VLE
• get feedback, questions, tasks and assignments online
• have a much more interactive learning process than studying by the conventional distance education mode and online
technical support
• have more personalised and regular contact with the tutor, because the ratio of students to tutor will be much lower.
The list of available courses offered through the eLearning mode can be found in the Information Manual for Distance Education
Students and the COLL website at www.nust.na/centres/coll/coll.php

(h) Library Services
The University’s library services are available free of charge to all registered students. Membership of the library is subject
to the Library Regulations. The library will lend recommended books and other supplementary reading matter to students.
Prescribed textbooks must, however, be bought by the student, and will NOT be provided by the library. A student who
does not return library material on the due date will not be allowed admission to the examinations, to re-register, and will
not receive his/her examination results before the outstanding library material has been returned to the University. Limited
stocks of library books are available from Regional Centres. The student must also consult his/her nearest Regional Centre in
this regard.
The University’s Library has a number of very useful resources and services which are accessible through the website: http://
www.nust.na/?q=library
A Resource Guide on all the various library services available to distance education students will be issued upon registration.
Online examination papers: Past examination papers are available from the Library’s web page, but only on campus. They are
also accessible via CD-ROM from the Regional Centres and via email from the Subject Librarians subjectlibrarian@nust.na.
Subject Librarians will only send past papers to distance education students who have supplied their student numbers.
If there is anything students do not understand, or which they need to have explained, they should not hesitate to consult
their Tutor, Coordinators: Administrative Support, Coordinators Academic Support, Regional Coordinators, Deputy Director of
COLL, or the Director of COLL; either by telephone, fax, email, a letter, or by a personal visit arranged beforehand.
(i) COLL SMS Service: The COLL use the sms service to inform and remind students on important information such as a change
in venues for classes and tests dates or if there is any deviation on the timetable. This function enables the COLL to keep
students up to date on important information.

Transition Arrangements
The Bachelor of Public Management (old curriculum) will be phased out systematically until 2019 with minimal disruption to existing
students’ learning progression. The last intake of 1st year students for the out-phasing programme (old curriculum) was in January
2014.
Students who were registered in 2014 for the 1st year of the out-phasing programme (old curriculum), and who failed more than
50 % of the courses at the end of 2014, were required to change their registration to the revised programme (new curriculum) in
2015, and were granted credits on a course-by-course basis in accordance with information in Table1 below.
The revised Bachelor of Public Management (new curriculum) took effect from January 2015 and will be phased in completely by
2017. Courses were only offered based on the new/revised syllabi in 2015 (1st year), 2016 (2nd year) and 2017 (3rd year). Students
who fail any of the courses on the old curriculum will be required to repeat such courses based on the syllabi of new/revised
corresponding courses. Please refer to Table 2, below, for detailed information on the new/revised corresponding courses to be done
if courses on the old curriculum are failed.
The deadline for complete phasing out of the Bachelor of Public Management (old curriculum) is 2019 after which students must
automatically switch to the revised programme and fulfil all requirements based on the new curriculum.

Description
The Bachelor of Accounting (General) is intended for students who wish to pursue careers in any of the sub-systems of the accounting

• developing the ability of students to analyse information from a wide range of sources;
• equipping students with the requisite skills to work effectively as individuals and as
• members of a team;
• enabling students to communicate effectively in the workplace.
The programme also intends to provide a diverse range of skills and competencies that are both discipline-specific and job-related and
facilitates the development of highly generic cognitive and intellectual skills that would enable graduates to apply their knowledge
and learnt competencies to the practices of Financial and Management Accounting, taking into consideration international generally
accepted accounting practices.
The Diploma in Accounting and Finance, as a first exit level, prepares students for self-directed application of knowledge and skills in
dealing with accounting issues in different types of organisations including manufacturing concerns.

Assessment Strategies
Students will be assessed through continuous and summative assessment. These assessments will focus on the achievement of
qualification outcomes and take the form of problem-solving exercises, case studies, report writing, practical application of skills and
competencies, tutorials and questioning (tests and/or examinations).
Students will write tests/assignments and an end-of-semester examination in each course during which their knowledge and
understanding of selected course content, their application of concepts and principles, as well as their ability to integrate the
contents of different course topics and even different courses (i.e. disciplines) will be assessed. The continuous assessment is made
up of at least two class tests and/or assignments and shall depend on the mode of study. Continuous assessment and the end-of-
semester examination will contribute as follows to the final mark for all core courses in Accounting and Finance:
Full-time and Part-time modes:

Continuous assessment: 40 % of the final mark
Final examination: 60 % of the final mark
Distance mode:
Continuous Assessment: 40 % of the final mark
Final examination: 60 % of the final mark
A candidate will gain admission to the examination by obtaining a continuous assessment mark of at least 40 %. In order to pass a
course, students need a final mark of at least 50 % subject to a sub-minimum of 40 % in the examination.
Due to the highly technical/practical nature of the accounting sub-systems and the constantly changing International Accounting
standards, candidates will only be allowed one supplementary (2nd opportunity) examination. There will not be any further
opportunities.
Assessment for WIL

• A report shall be structured by the Departmental Co-ordinator indicating the tasks that will be performed in specific work
places in collaboration with Director of the Centre for Cooperative Education (CCE) and the representative of the selected
organisation.
• Students are prepared for WIL by the CCE (both the selected organisation and NUST requirements shall be discussed and
agreed upon during such sessions).
• Industry visits are done by the Director and the Departmental Representative to ensure that the agreed tasks are assigned
to students and also to monitor each student’s progress.
• Students shall write reports that are presented to the selected organisation and NUST representatives in addition to
completing the report.
• Upon completion of WIL the assessment results shall be as follows:

The Bachelor of Technology in Accounting and Finance (old curriculum) will be phased out systematically until the end of 2017
with minimum disruption to existing students’ learning progression. The last intake of 1st years for the existing programme (old
curriculum) was in January 2011 and the final date for complete phasing out of the current National Diploma is December 2015.
Students will only be allowed to register for the 4th year of the B.Tech. (old curriculum) until 2015 to ensure they have sufficient time
to complete the programme by 2017.
Students who are registered in 2011 for the 1st year of the current programme (old curriculum), and who wish to transfer to the new
programme, and students who fail more than 50 % of the courses at the end of the year (2011), will be required to change their
registration to the new programme and will be granted credits on a course-by-course basis in accordance with information in Table
1 below.

The Bachelor of Accounting (General) will take effect from January 2012 for all 1st year students and will be completely phased in by
2014. Courses will only be offered based on the new/revised syllabi in 2012 (1st year), 2013 (2nd year) and 2014 (3rd year).
The deadline for complete phasing out of the Old B. Tech was 2017. Students must automatically switch to the new programme after
these dates.

and who applied to continue with their studies should be placed as follows:
- Students who did not obtain a qualification should register from year one and apply for exemptions if their courses are
still within seven-years. If courses are older than seven years, no exemptions will be granted and students will be required
to register as year 1.
- Certificates holders – (Exempted from year 1) register year two courses concurrently with Basic Science from year 1.
- Diploma holders – (Exempted from both year 1 and 2) register for year three courses. The following new courses must
also be completed from year 1 and 2, concurrently with the third-year courses: Basic Science, Business Law, Intermediate
Micro Economics, Intermediate Macro Economics, Cost and Management Accounting 202 and Information Competence.
Students who fail any of the courses in the old curriculum during the phasing out period will be required to repeat such courses
based on the syllabi of new/revised corresponding courses. Please refer to Table 2, below, for detailed information on the new/
revised corresponding courses to be done if courses on the old curriculum are failed.

(Phased in 2007 and Phased out 2020)
The department introduced this Bachelor qualification for all its programmes in 2007. Old programmes were phased out with effect
from 2007. The first year of old programmes were no longer offered in 2007 and the second year of old programmes were no longer

MARKETING
BACHELOR OF MARKETING 07MARB

(Phased in 2019)
Purpose
The Bachelor of Marketing programme provides a systematic and coherent introduction to the knowledge, principles, concepts,
data, theories and problem-solving techniques within the field of marketing. The programme has been designed to respond to
both the local and international contexts as students will explore the ways in which marketing roles exist and function within
Namibia and in developing societies more generally. The programme will enable students to acquire a blend of cognitive and
intellectual skills, as well as more hands-on practical and key transferable skills, and to apply these competencies in addressing
marketing challenges in Namibia and the international community. Students need an understanding of the complex global
marketplace and its inherent technologies. This requires students to be digitally literate to operate in the highly demanding
technological market place. Technology-based products are growing. Students need to fit in. Businesses organisations need
graduates with the digital literacy skills to operate marketing and sales technology.
The programme aims at producing marketing graduates who are technology savvy and that can competently manage marketing
and management related tasks and duties as well as make marketing related decisions within the scope of their responsibilities.
Graduates would be able to appraise and manage the synergy between marketing and other functional areas of management in
an organisation. The Bachelor of Marketing aims at equipping students with a diverse range of skills and competencies that are
marketing specific and job related. Graduates will be able to use relevant marketing information in the process of making effective
and efficient
Criteria for Admission:

Candidates may be considered for admission to this programme if they meet the General Admission Requirements of the Namibia
University of Science and Technology (GI2.1 in the Prospectus/year book). In addition, candidates are required to have passed
Mathematics with at least a "D"-symbol at NSSC Ordinary Level or a 4 at NSSC Higher Level.
Mature age candidates will be considered provided they meet the requirements and pass the mature age entrance examinations
of the Namibia University of Science and Technology (GI2.2 in the Prospectus/year book).
Articulation Arrangements:
Transfer of credits will be dealt with according to the Namibia University of Science and Technology regulations on Recognition
of Prior Learning (RPL). These provide for course-by-course credits as well as credit transfer by volume under certain academic
conditions. Maximum credit that can be granted is 50 % of the credits for a qualification.
Students who successfully complete the Bachelor of Marketing will ordinarily be able to pursue further studies at
Mode of Delivery:
The programme will be offered on full-time, part-time, and distance modes in accordance with NUST rules and regulations,
blended learning approaches using technology will be encouraged.
Requirements for Qualification Award:

The Bachelor of Marketing will be awarded to students credited with a minimum of 367 NQF credits. In addition, students must
meet the administrative and financial requirements as spelt out in the Prospectus of the Namibia University of Science and
Technology of Namibia.
Teaching, learning strategies

The requirements of the NQF underline the acquisition of cognitive skills and competencies exceeding the knowledge and
understanding of subject specific knowledge items and professional/technical competencies. Thus, the qualification focuses on
the engagement of students in an interactive learning process in order to provide for the development of generic cognitive and
intellectual skills, key transferable skills, and, as the case may be, subject specific and/or professional/technical practical skills.
This learning process will be facilitated both in and outside the classroom, requiring specific tasks to be carried out by the student.
This facilitation will integrate hybrid 21st century pedagogies that will apply, inter alia, practical projects, flipped classroom
technologies, blended learning approaches, tutorials, case studies, problem based learning and individual and/or group work. The
progress of learning embedded in such tasks will be monitored, recorded and assessed, prompt feedback to promote learning will
be encouraged.
[ 39 ]

This the process of integrating work experiences with class-based learning in a way traditional education cannot do. It provides
students with opportunities to:
Execute tasks associated with sales and/or marketing rather than just reading them.
Network with professionals and build relationships that can assist students in future endeavours while providing a professional
environment.
Have access to marketing companies for full time positions after graduation once good working relationships have been
established.
Interact with people from diverse backgrounds and develop interpersonal skills that are not possible in a classroom environment.
WIL is important in improving the characteristics of our graduates to meet industry needs in line with the NUST Strategic Plan. It
offers opportunity for innovation and creativity when students can experiment with what they learn in class in the work place and/
or through the completion of well structured, monitored and assessed industry-based marketing related assignments/projects.
Assessment strategies:
Students will be assessed through continuous formative and summative assessments. These assessments will focus on the
achievement of competencies and take the form of problem solving exercises, individual/group assignments and presentations,
case studies, report writing, practical application of skills and competencies, tutorials, practical projects and questioning (tests
and/or examinations). The use of validating end of term assessments may be minimised in order to free students’ intellectual
capacity for broader cognitive development. Assessment by means of tests and/or examinations will, therefore, be restricted to
situations where it is necessary to establish that a previous specific outcome can be repeated or a specific skill can be transferred.
In accordance with NUST policy on diversified continuous assessment, each course assessed by means of Continuous Assessment
only will have a minimum of four assessments. Courses that are assessed using a combination of continuous assessment and a
final end-of-semester examination must have at least three assessments.
Quality Assurance requirements

Each course (please refer to the Detailed Qualification Requirements) will have one or more examiner and one moderator.
Moderators will be identified both internally and externally. The required minimum qualification of the moderator would be a
Bachelor Honours degree in a related field of studies or the person must be a well-respected expert in the field in more practical
areas of marketing. Lecturing staff will set and mark tests and/or examinations which will, together with relevant study material
of that particular course and other material containing course learning outcomes in the context of the qualification learning
outcomes, be forwarded to the moderator for moderation purpose, therefore, ensuring quality of the assessment and the
qualification as a whole. All courses at exit level i.e. NQF Level 7, will be externally moderated.
Transition Arrangements:
The Bachelor of Marketing (old curriculum), will be phased out systematically until 2023 with minimal disruption to existing
2018. The last intake for the final year of the out-phasing programme (old curriculum), will be in 2019. The last cohort of students,
registered for the final year in 2019, will have until 2023 to complete the out-phasing programme (old curriculum).
Students who are registered in 2018 for the 1st year of the out-phasing programme (old curriculum), and who fail more than
50% of the courses at the end of the year, will be required to change their registration to the new programme and will be granted
credits on a course-by-course basis in accordance with information in Table 15.2 below. Students who are registered in 2018 for
the 1st year of the out-phasing programme (old curriculum) and who meet all requirements to progress to the 2nd year in 2019
will be allowed to transition to the revised programme (new curriculum).
The revised Bachelor of Marketing (New curriculum) will take effect from January 2019 with the concurrent implementation of the
1st and 2nd year in 2019 and the implementation of the 3rd year in 2020. Courses will only be offered based on the new/revised
syllabi in 2019 (1st and 2 nd year) and 2020 (3rd year). Students who are admitted into the examination but fail any of the
courses on the old curriculum will only be granted two opportunities to pass such courses in accordance with the NUST general
rules. Students who fail any of the courses on the old curriculum will be required to repeat the failed courses based on syllabi of
new/revised corresponding courses. Please refer to Table 15.2, on the next page, for detailed information on the new/revised
corresponding courses to be done if courses on the old curriculum are failed.

with least disruption to learning progression. Students who are in the 1st year 2015 will automatically transition to new curriculum
whether they fail or pass any of the first year courses. Students in second (2nd) in 2015 will transition to new curriculum. If a
student passes Performance Management and Productivity Measures (PMP612S) s/he will get credit waiver for the course but will
be required to do the course Human Resources for Line Managers (RLM621S) in addition to all 3rd year courses. Students who are
in third (3rd) year in 2015 continue with the current curriculum and finish studies in 2016. These students will only be affected by
changes in curriculum if they fail any of the 3rd year courses. Consideration will be done on a case by case basis. The last intake of
1st year students for the out-phasing programme (07HRMB) will be in January 2015.
The revised Bachelor of Human Resources Management (new curriculum) (07HRMB) will take effect from January 2016 and will
be phased in completely by 2017. Courses will only be offered based on the new/revised curriculum in 2016 (1st year), 2016 (2nd
year) and 2017 (3rd year). Students who fail any of the courses on the old curriculum will be required to repeat such courses based
on the syllabi of new/revised corresponding courses. Please refer to Table 2, below, for detailed information on the new/revised
corresponding courses to be done if courses on the old curriculum are failed.

qualification outcomes and take the form of problem-solving exercises, individual/group assignments and presentations, case
studies, report writing, practical application of skills and competencies, tutorials, practical projects and questioning (tests and/or
examinations). The use of validating end of term assessments may be minimised in order to free students’ intellectual capacity for
[ 51 ]
broader cognitive development. Assessment by means of tests and/or examinations will, therefore, be restricted to situations where
it is necessary to establish that a previous specific performance can be repeated or a specific skill can be transferred. In accordance
with NUST policy on diversified continuous assessment, each course will have a minimum of six assessment events. Courses that are
assessed using a combination of continuous assessment and a final end-of-term examination must have at least three assessments.
WIL will be assessed based on the portfolio and the presentation thereof which is stipulated in the Work-Integrated Manual and
is based on the syllabus as applied in the working situation in which the student is placed. The mentor’s mark of the student’s
performance will also be taken into consideration.
The revised programme takes effect from January 2017. The existing 3-year Bachelor of Office Management & Technology degree
programme will be phased out systematically with minimal disruption to existing students’ learning progression and the deadline for
complete phasing out of this programme is 2021.
The last intakes for the final year of the out-phasing programme (old curriculum/07 BOMT), will be in 2018. The last cohort of students,
to be registered for the final year in 2018, would have until 2021 to complete the out-phasing programme (old curriculum/07 BOMT).
Students who registered in 2016 will have until 2018 to complete the existing programme. Students who fail any of the courses in the
old curriculum will be provided with two opportunities to pass the failed courses. After first and second opportunities, such failed
courses in the old programme will only be offered on the new curriculum effective from January 2017.
Students who are registered in 2016 for the 1st year of the out-phasing programme (old curriculum/07 BOMT), and who fail more
than 50 % of the programme at the end of the year, will be required to change their registration to the new programmes and will
be granted credits on a course-by-course basis in accordance with information in Table 1 below. Students enrolled for the existing
programme may also opt to transition to the new programme, if they so wish, but will be required to make up specific deficiencies
in accordance with the detailed requirements for the new curriculum. Students will be advised accordingly as to which courses to
make-up based on the new curriculum. Students who fail any of the courses on the old curriculum will be required to repeat the
failed courses based on the syllabi of new/revised corresponding courses. Please refer to Table 2, below, for detailed information on
the new/revised corresponding courses to be done if courses on the old curriculum are failed.
The deadline for complete phasing out of the existing programme is 2021, after which students must automatically switch to the
new programme and make up for all outstanding courses based on the requirements of the new curriculum. If a student, who is
registered on the existing programme, fails more than half the work load in any particular year his/her registration will automatically
be changed to the new programme. The switch will consider courses already taken and their equivalents.
The deadline for complete phasing out of the Bachelor of Office Management & Technology (old curriculum/07 BOMT) is 2021 after
which students must automatically switch to the new programme and fulfil all requirements based of the new curriculum.

BACHELOR OF ECONOMICS 07BECO

(Phased in 2013) (Revised for 2018)
Description
The Bachelor of Economics provides a systematic and coherent introduction to the knowledge, principles, concepts, data, theories
and problem-solving techniques of the economics discipline. The programme will enable students to acquire cognitive/intellectual
skills, practical skills and key transferable skills and to apply these skills in solving economic problems that face the public and private
sectors, as well as the overall economy.
The Bachelor of Economics specifically aims at:

• providing students with a good foundation in the fundamental concepts, theories and frameworks of economics;
• developing the ability of students to analyse information from a wide range of sources;
• equipping students with the requisite skills to work effectively as individuals and as members of teams, and,
• enabling students to communicate effectively in the workplace.
Candidates may be admitted to this programme if they meet the General Admission Requirements of the University (GI2.1 in Part 1
of the NUST Yearbook). In addition, students should have minimum "D" symbols in Grade 12/NSSCO Mathematics.

TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT
BACHELOR OF TRANSPORT MANAGEMENT 07BTRA

(Revised Curriculum) (Phased in 2020)
Description
The Bachelor of Transport Management programme provides a systematic and coherent introduction to the knowledge, principles,
concepts, data, theories and problem-solving techniques within the field of Transport. The programme has been designed to
respond to both the local and international contexts as students will explore the ways in which Transport roles exist and function
within Namibia and in developing societies more generally. The programme will enable students to acquire a blend of cognitive
and intellectual skills, as well as more hands-on practical and key transferable skills, and to apply these competencies in addressing
transport challenges in Namibia and the international community.
The programme aims at producing transport graduates who can competently manage transport and logistics related tasks and
duties as well as make transport related decisions within the scope of their responsibilities. Graduates would be able to appraise
and manage the synergy between transport and other functional areas of management in an organisation. The programme aims at
equipping students with a diverse range of skills and competencies that are transport specific and job related. Graduates will be able
to use relevant transport information in the process of making effective and efficient transport decisions, managing themselves and
others, and providing mentorship and coaching to subordinates.
The overall purpose of this programme is to produce graduates who are competent and proficient in performing a wide spectrum of
routine, complex and multi-dimensional transport and logistics-related tasks, duties and responsibilities and achieve reliable results
with minimal or no supervision.
Candidates may be considered for admission to this programme if they meet the General Admission Requirements of the Namibia
University of Science and Technology (GI2.1 in Part 1 of the NUST Yearbook). In addition, candidates are required to have passed
Mathematics with at least an "E"-symbol at NSSC Ordinary Level or a 4 at NSSC Higher Level.
of the Namibia University of Science and Technology (GI2.2 in Part 1 of the NUST Yearbook). Only applicants that scored 50 % and
above in English and Mathematics in the Mature Age Entry Test will be considered.
Mode of Delivery
This programme will be offered on full-time, part-time and distance modes of study in accordance with NUST rules and regulations.
achievement of competencies and take the form of problem solving exercises, individual/group assignments and presentations, case
examinations). The use of validating end of term assessments may be minimised in order to free students’ intellectual capacity for
broader cognitive development. Assessment by means of tests and/or examinations will, therefore, be restricted to situations where
it is necessary to establish that a previous specific outcome can be repeated or a specific skill can be transferred. In accordance
with NUST policy on diversified continuous assessment, each course assessed by means of Continuous Assessment only will have a
minimum of six assessments. Courses that are assessed using a combination of continuous assessment and a final end-of-semester
examination must have at least three assessments.
WIL will be assessed on the basis of the following:

• Immediate WIL supervisor’s report;
• Academic assessor’s mark (academic assessor to interview both the student and the WIL immediate supervisor and give a mark);
• WIL report which is to be written following the guidelines given by the department. This report is supposed to be signed by
either the supervisor or the manager at the workplace.
The Bachelor of Transport Management (07BTMM Phased in 2017 – “Old-Discontinued”) curriculum has been phased-out completely
in December 2019 following the directive from the NCHE. This is so to ensure continued relevance and fit for purpose.
The revised Bachelor of Transport Management replacing the old-discontinued programme will be implemented at all level i.e. Year
1, 2 and 3, at the beginning of 2020 academic year as follows:
• Students who were registered for the first time (1st year) to the old-discontinued curriculum in 2019 and who have failed the
courses at the end of the year 2019, will be required to change their registration to the revised programme and will be granted
credits on a course-by-course basis as per information in Table 1.
• Students who were registered in 2019 for the 1st year of the old discontinued curriculum and who meet all requirements to
[ 64 ]
progress to the 2nd year in 2020, will be required to transition to the revised programme, but stand to lose the credits for
“Business Ethics”. To meet the requirements of the revised programme, students in this category, however, will be required to
pick-up credits for 1st year newly introduced courses namely: Transport Policy and Planning; GIS for Transportation and CAD for
Transportation¹*.
• Similarly, students who were registered in 2019 for the 2nd year of the old discontinued curriculum and who meet all requirements
to progress to the 3rd year in 2020, will be required to transition to the revised programme. To meet the requirements of the
revised programme, students in this category, however, will be required to pick-up credits for a newly introduced Intelligent
Transportation Systems, Transport Policy, and Planning; GIS for Transportation and CAD for Transportation course²*.
• Students who were registered in 2019 for the 3rd year of the old discontinued curriculum and have completed their studies, will
not be affected by this review, as per NCHE recommendation. However, students who have not completed, will be transitioned
to the new revised Programme in 2020 and will be required to repeat such course/s based on the syllabi of the new revised
corresponding courses as outlined in Table 2. In order to meet the requirements of the revised programme, students in this
category, will be required to take the following additional courses: Intelligent Transportation Systems, Transport Policy and
Planning; GIS for Transportation and CAD for Transportation course.
• Courses will only be offered on the revised syllabi for year 1, 2, and 3 in 2020. Students who fail any of the courses (Old-
Discontinued curriculum) will be required to repeat such courses based on the syllabi of the corresponding courses in the
revised curriculum (Please refer to Table 2).
• All students transitioning from 07BTMM who have not done GIS for Transportation, CAD for Transportation, Transport Policy
and Planning and Intelligent Transportation Systems will be required to complete these courses on a block session in Semester
two, four and six.

Special Arrangements for Work Integrated Learning

Work Integrated Learning (WIL) is incorporated in the 6th semester, following the project management course completed in the
5th semester. The work integrated learning requires students to undertake a work/industry related project to ensure that practical
experience is gained by a student on completion of the programme. The work integrated learning experience and resultant project
comprises of 36 credits (360 notional hours) of the total programme.
Students with assistance from the academic supervisor will be required through-out the 5th semester to identify a placement in
industry.
The student will then sign an agreement provided by the academic supervisor with the organisation that has approved the placement,
and assigned an industry supervisor to the student.
The agreement will include the job description of the student, together with a project plan compiled by the student that will count
towards the final mark of WIL.
Once the project plan has been approved by the academic supervisor, the work-integrated learning can commence. The work-
integrated learning process through-out the 6th semester should be documented and a short report should be given to the academic
supervisor on a 2 weekly basis, after approval by the industry supervisor.
The time-period for the experiential learning will span over 16 weeks, to ensure the students fulfil their requirements of 360 hours.
The student will be required to compile a final report on all activities and project during the WIL process, and produce it to the
academic supervisor at the end of the semester that will count towards the final mark of WIL.
A presentation will be required by student at the end of the semester that will count towards the final mark of WIL.
The final mark of the student will be calculated according to the following:
Project Plan: 10 %
2 Week Reports: 10 %
Final Report: 70 % (60 % Academic supervisor, 40 % Industry supervisor)
Presentation: 10 %
The role of the student is to undergo the training, as broadly specified by the academic department and offered by the company.

BACHELOR OF SPORT MANAGEMENT 07BOSM
Description
The Bachelor of Sport Management programme aims at producing graduates who can competently manage and administer sports
businesses and sport business-related tasks and duties in private and/or public establishments as well as make effective decisions
within the scope of their responsibilities. Similarly, the degree will provide students with a solid foundation and diverse range of skills
and competencies in sport-related business fundamentals including general management, marketing, governance, legal issues, and
event and facility management, etc. Through this programme, students will be able to apply relevant sport management principles,
concepts and tools to effectively and efficiently make business decisions in the areas of sport sponsorship, events management,
outsourcing and insourcing of duties and responsibilities, etc., as well as, managing themselves and others, while providing
mentorship and coaching to subordinates. In the same vein, students would be able to appraise and manage the synergy between
sport, marketing, business, management and other functional areas of management in a sporting organisation.
Students who exit with a Bachelor of Sport Management will be able to find employment as: sporting/sport managers, sport
marketing executives, management/marketing executives, business development executives, sporting brand managers/executives,
sponsorship executives, events executives, etc., in the private sector, public sector and/or both.
Admission Criteria
Candidates may be considered for admission to this programme if they meet the General Admission Requirements of NUST (GI2.1
in the NUST Yearbook).
NUST (GI2.2 in the NUST Yearbook) - with a minimum of 50 % in both English and Mathematics.
Applicants who have successfully completed the entire bridging programme for Sport Management offered by NUST, through CED,
will also be eligible for admission into the degree.
Transfer of credits will be dealt with according to the University’s regulations on Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). These provide
Students who successfully complete the Bachelor of Sport Management will ordinarily be able to pursue further studies at NQF Level
8 in Sport Management or a related cognate area of learning.
Mode of Delivery
The programme will be offered on full-time, part-time and distance modes, in accordance with NUST’s rules and regulations.

This facilitation will make use of, inter alia, practical projects, tutorials, case studies, problem-based learning and individual and/or
group work. The progress of learning embedded in such tasks will be monitored, recorded and assessed.
Work Integrated Learning (WIL), also referred to as Cooperative Education is the process of integrating work experiences with
learning in a way traditional education cannot do. It provides students with opportunities to:
• Execute tasks associated with sport management rather than just reading about them.
• Network with professionals and build relationships that can assist students in future endeavours while providing a professional
environment.
• Have access to sport marketing, management companies, State Owned Enterprises, and Commissions for full time positions
after graduation once good working relationships have been established.
• Interact with people from diverse backgrounds and develop interpersonal skills that are not possible in a classroom
environment.
WIL is important in improving the characteristics of graduates to meet industry needs in line with the NUST vision and Strategic
Plan (PSP-4). It offers opportunity for innovation and creativity when students are able to experiment with what they learn in
class in the work place and/or through the completion of well-structured, monitored and assessed industry-based sport-marketing/
business-related assignments/projects right from their 1st year through to their 3rd year.
The Sport Management WIL provides students not currently working in the industry with hands-on experience in a sports organisation
of their choice. Students will be required to successfully undertake, implement, and complete a timely, industry-specific project in a
sports organisation, under the supervision of a coordinator. Students completing internships meet with the coordinator at least four
times per term to discuss the progress of their projects. At the end of the period, students submit a written summary of their final
projects to the WIL coordinator and the Department, as well as present the same to the WIL panel in the Department. Although
students have broad flexibility in the types of organisations at which they might intern, the internship project(s) and terms of service
must be approved, in advance, by the WIL coordinator and the Department.

achievement of competencies and take the form of problem-solving exercises, individual/group assignments and presentations,
case studies, report writing, practical application of skills and competencies, tutorials, practical projects, field work, events
management and questioning (tests and/or examinations). The use of validating end-of-term assessments may be minimised in
order to free students’ intellectual capacity for broader cognitive development. Assessment by means of tests and/or examinations
will, therefore, be restricted to situations where it is necessary to establish that a previous specific outcome can be repeated or a
specific skill can be transferred. In accordance with NUST’s policy on diversified continuous assessment, each course assessed by
means of Continuous Assessment only will have a minimum of six assessments. Courses that are assessed using a combination of
continuous assessment and a final end-of-semester examination must have at least three assessments.

courses on the old curriculum will only be granted two opportunities to pass such courses in accordance with the NUST rules. The
3rd year students who fail any of the courses on the old curriculum will be required to repeat the failed courses based on syllabi of
new and revised corresponding courses. Please refer to Table 2 below, for detailed information on the new/revised corresponding
courses to be done if courses on the old curriculum are failed.

Quality Assurance
Each course (please refer to the Detailed Qualification Requirements) will have one or more examiner and one moderator. Moderators
will be identified both internally and externally. The required minimum qualification of the moderator should be a Bachelor degree
in a related field of study or the person must be a well-respected expert in the field. Lecturing staff will set and mark tests and/
or examinations which will, together with relevant study material of that particular course and other material containing course
learning outcomes in the context of the qualification learning outcomes, be forwarded to the moderator for moderation purposes,
therefore, ensuring quality of the assessment and the qualification as a whole. All courses at exit level i.e. NQF Level 6, will be
externally moderated.
The Diploma in Technical, Vocational Education, and Training: Trainer (NQF Level 6) is a revised programme replacing the Certificate
in Vocational Education and Training: Trainer (NQF Level 4), and the Certificate in Vocational Education and Training (NQF Level 5) -
formerly the Higher Certificate in Vocational Education and Training (NQF Level 5). The revised Diploma will be implemented at the
start of the 2020 academic year.
Students who were registered in 2019 for the Certificate in Vocational Education and Training: Trainer (NQF Level 4) (old curriculum),
who failed more than 50% of the courses at the end of the year 2019, will be required to change their registration to the revised
programme namely the Diploma in Technical, Vocational Education, and Training: Trainer (NQF Level 6). The students will be accorded
credits on a course-by-course basis in accordance with information in Table 1 below. Students in this category may lose credits.
Students who were registered in 2019 for the Certificate in Vocational Education and Training: Trainer (NQF Level 4) (old curriculum),
and who have met the requirements to progress to the Certificate in Vocational Education and Training (NQF Level 5)- formerly the
Higher Certificate in Vocational Education and Training (NQF Level 5), will be allowed to register for the 2nd year Diploma in TVET:
Trainer (NQF Level 6). Students who fall in this category will be allowed to take the following first year second semester courses:
Management of TVET and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) A in the first semester of the second year. The reason for
this arrangement is because Management of TVET and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) A have no equivalent courses
in the revised programme.
Students who were registered in 2019 for the Higher Certificate in Vocational Education and Training (NQF Level 5) will also be
required to complete the programme based on the requirements of the old curriculum (currently the Certificate in Vocational
Education and Training (NQF Level 5).
The deadline for complete phasing out of the Certificate in Vocational Education and Training: Trainer (NQF Level 4) and the Certificate
in Vocational Education and Training (NQF Level 5) is 2022 after which students must automatically change their registration to the
revised Diploma and fulfil all requirements of the Diploma.

Programme Aims/Purpose
The purpose of this programme is to equip in-service and pre-service vocational instructors with instructional competencies that will
enable them to develop their instructional skills in a more conducive and focused manner. The programme recognises the major
attributes that a vocational instructor must possess and which will enable him/her to transfer knowledge and skills to vocational
trainees in a trainee centered manner. On completion of the programme, the student should be able to actively participate in
instructional activities and assessment of performance standards within a formal training environment such as vocational training
centers. The content of the unit standard-based qualification was developed by the Namibia Training Authority (NTA) in cooperation
with various stake holders. DTVET has developed a comprehensive programme with the aim to ensure that a broader base is created
that would enable students to achieve the outcomes in an integrated manner. This programme forms the foundation for the Higher
Certificate (Level 5) and the Diploma in VET (Level 6). The resultant qualification is also of value for industrial trainers and private
skills training providers.
Programme Rationale
The training programme for the Certificate VET is based on the outcomes of unit standards already registered on the NQF for this
award. The content of the unit standards was not changed during the development process. To increase the academic value of
the training programme/qualification, related/supporting unit standards were packaged under specific sub-fields of specialisation.
Additional competencies which are regarded as essential are included in the training programme. This enrichment is in line with
NUST policies and will enhance the overall competency profile of students and increase their ability to teach and instruct as well as
their employability after graduation.

The main focus of the qualification is to ensure that all trainers within the vocational education and training system:
• Are adequately equipped to undertake their essential and demanding teaching, training and assessment tasks within the
context of the NQF;
• Enhance their professional competence and performance which is deservedly held in high regard nationally and internationally;
and to
• Create a community of competent trainers dedicated to providing education and training of high quality with a high level of
performance as well as ethical and professional standards of conduct (NTA: 2010).
On completing the programme students should be able to:

• Transfer knowledge, skills and values to vocational trainees on an equitable basis;
• Demonstrate during instructional activities a deep understanding and appreciation of the different ways in which people learn
and understand;
