Right in the city, the University of Namibia is almost as young as its country, full of energy and commitment.
Just like your Namibian peers, the full range of courses offered will be open
to you.
| Course Highlights: |

Founded to serve the needs of a new democracy, the
university is strong in courses like agriculture and
ecology, education, medical and health sciences, and
economics, in addition to the usual roster of humanities,
social science, and science classes. |

While your housing is a university residence, the university
can arrange for you to live with a local family for a week in order to interact even more closely with
local Namibians. |

The school also
supports cocurricular activities: service, sports, the
arts, and student organizations like the Malcolm X Society,
Pan-African Society, Environmental Society, and the campus
radio station. |

In Namibia, it’s easy to imagine a world unchanged by
civilization. Namib Naukluft
Park features desert plains and gigantic
sand dunes that shift with the wind. At
Etosha National Park, one of the world’s
largest game reserves, black rhinos and
elephants share the watering hole at night.
On the ocean you can see centuries-old shipwrecks at
the Skeleton Coast or visit the seal colony at Cape Cross.
But when you return to the friendly, cosmopolitan city of
Windhoek, it’s obvious: Namibia has it all. This is your chance to live
and learn at a university-and in a country-stillin the process of discovering its identity.
As the capital of a newly independent
country, Windhoek is a thriving modern city, with upscale hotels, fine dining,
and a lively cultural scene. Handcrafted specialties like
distinctive jewelry and hand-woven carpets are easy to
find. You can still see German colonial influence in the
older architecture, but most places today have a laid-back
style all Windhoek’s own. If you’re the restless type, you’ll love
the variety of inexpensive trips you can plan while you’re there. From
safaris to scuba diving, Namibia has some of the best
adventure travel in the world, and living there
may be the best adventure of all!
