Before you apply: five checks for this college

  1. Confirm the World Directory entry F0002960 yourself at wdoms.org; the entry describes the school as it reported itself, not its recognition anywhere.
  2. Ask the medical council or health ministry of Namibia whether the school is currently recognised and whether its graduates are being registered this year.

  4. Get the fee schedule and admission letter from the school's own office, not from an agent, and pay only to the school's account.
  5. Search the agent, consultancy or website you are dealing with on the fraud alerts page before paying anything.

What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0002960) โ€” you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 109 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 4.2โ˜… โ€” read the full text below before deciding.

Verify before you pay anyone

  • Recognition and licensing rules change over time. Re-check the current NMC-eligible colleges list and this country's regulations for Namibia yourself before paying anything.
  • Never pay an agent or "seat reservation" fee in cash, or before you have a signed offer letter directly from the university.
  • A guaranteed admission, a discounted "management quota" seat, or pressure to decide within 24 hours are classic pressure tactics โ€” slow down and verify independently.
  • Confirm the medium of instruction, hostel/food costs, and total multi-year fee in writing from the university itself, not only from an agent's brochure.

This panel is generated from data on this page (WDOMS listing and student reviews) plus general precautions that apply to any MBBS admission abroad โ€” it is not a claim, positive or negative, about this specific college beyond what's shown here.

Real reviews from students.

Ronaldo Jerome Nandevanga Ndjao

Excellent institution of higher learning with good quality facilities which are spacious and made for good learning opportunities. Poor professional conduct from some personnel,you can't even ask a simple question the person's response towards you is very rude. Need to improve their ICT system it's forever crushing.

Tobias Shinyemba

The university of Namibia offers wide range of courses in various disciplines and it is one of the best university in Southern Africa. The main campus is located 10 minutes drive from the city centre and is accessible both by public transport and private transport.

overall When i went to unam i had a very questionable experience. When first arriving i got threatened by a man next to the road. The security on the inside of the school is very robust however the outside perimeter (P=2x+2y) is not so well secured.
