Department of Corporate Engagement and Internationalisation

Department of Corporate Engagement and Internationalisation (CEI)  / 

The Department of Corporate Engagement and Internationalisation (CEI) is the custodian of upholding the image of the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) and with the recent transformation continues to play a significant role in the rebranding of the new University. 

Student recruitment is an important aspect of what we do, the department regularly participates in school career fairs and trade exhibitions to not only promote our university, but present opportunities for prospective students to benefit from personal contact with our staff. Prospective students are provided with relevant information about NUST, affording them an opportunity to make informed career choices. 

In cooperation with all the NUST Faculties, Departments, Centres and other Units, the CEI facilitates institutional events, and thus maintains a sound relationship with members of the media.

All about

INTERNATIONALISATION

The mandate of the International Relations 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 internationalisation 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.

INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS

NUST has established partnerships with more than 80 universities internationally through signed memoranda of understanding.

 

INTERNATIONALISATION ON CAMPUS

NUST annually hosts a weeklong Cultural Festival to celebrate Namibia’s diverse cultural heritage and international cultures through a wide range of activities. These include a parade, cultural performances, an International Cuisine Day and theatrical shows. The International Relations hosts an International Education Week annually. This event aims to raise awareness about the importance of international exposure and seeks to inform students and staff about education opportunities abroad.

 

INTERNATIONAL ACADEMIC STAFF

In an effort to expose our students to international trends and practices, NUST promotes Internationalisation on campus and in teaching and learning. More than 45% of the academic staff at NUST are international staff coming from countries such as Nigeria, Sweden, Kenya, India, and the United States (2020).

 

INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITIES

NUST annually hosts a week-long Cultural Festival to celebrate Namibia’s diverse cultural heritage and international cultures through wide range of activities. These include a parade, cultural performances, an International Cuisine Day and theatrical shows. The International Relations hosts an International Education Day annually. This initiative aims to raise awareness about the importance of international exposure to higher education students, and also seeks to inform national students and staff about international education opportunities.

NUST is home to more than 700  international students from all over the world out of a student population of nearly 12,000 (2020). International students fall into one of the four categories of international students:

  • Exchange: Students who come to NUST to complete a semester of studies. Exchange takes place where a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) exists between NUST and the student’s home university.  
  • Study Abroad: Students who come to NUST to complete specific modules, courses, projects or visit on a fee-paying basis (free-movers).
  • Interns: Students who complete in-service training as part of their qualification requirements either at NUST or in industry under the academic auspices of NUST.
  • Full Degree: Full degree international students apply to NUST similar to other full-degree Namibian students and pay the required tuition and other fees.

IMMIGRATION MATTERS

In terms of the provisions of the Immigration Control Act, Act No.7 of 1993, no person shall enter Namibia without valid passport and valid visas. The valid visas include the following:

 

INTERNATIONAL VISITORS

The International Relations works closely with the NUST Management, faculties and departments in receiving international academics and visitors who are interested in forming partnerships, lecturing or conducting research while embedded at NUST. International academics and visitors, regardless of country of origin, are required to contact the International Relations at least two months in advance to obtain relevant information on the required documentation and visas to comply with their category of visit.

STUDY VISAS

All non-Namibian students must be in possession of a valid 3 or 6-month study visa before entering Namibia. Exchange and study abroad students must apply for a study visa and forward the completed application form, certified/endorsed passport copy and certified/endorsed police clearance certificate for a 6-month visa to the International Relations for processing.

STUDY PERMITS

NUST normally invites officials from the Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration and Safety and Security on campus at the start of every academic year. During the registration period, full degree international students can have their student permit applications processed by the officials.

EMPLOYMENT PERMITS

International academics or experts who are seeking employment at or are employed by NUST may seek guidance from the Department of Human Resources on queries relating to employment permits.

ACCOMMODATION

NUST has limited accommodation on campus. However, international students may contact the International Relations as well as the Department of Student Services for recommendations on nearby suitable student housing.
