Welcome to the Department of International Relations

The Department of International Relations

The mandate of the Department is to drive the internationalisation agenda of the Institution, and to position and build the international reputation of the University. The internationalisation agenda is premised on mutually sharing, exchanging, and learning from international best practices, and integration of best international practices into the teaching, learning, research and services of the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST). The expected output of internationalization at NUST is to contribute to producing graduates with the requisite knowledge, skills, values and attitudes, and who are able to function effectively in culturally diverse and global competitive context.
