It has campuses across Namibia, with 17 schools organised into four faculties: Agriculture, Engineering and Natural Sciences; Commerce, Management and Law; Education and Human Sciences; and Health Sciences and Veterinary Medicine. The website serves prospective and current students with online application, programme browsing, prospectuses, online fee payment, eBooks, and news about the university's research and activities.
