Candidates who hold qualifications in Natural Resource Management or related cognate areas at NQF Level 8, or equivalent, from recognised institutions, may be considered for admission to this programme. Such qualifications must include a component of research methodology and supervised research.

Final selection will be based on a personal interview with a departmental selection panel. Registration prior to the approval of a research proposal is provisional and will only become official when the proposal is approved by the Higher Degrees Committee of the Namibia University of Science and Technology. These procedures will be fully explained to each prospective student during his or her personal interview.
