Welcome to Oshakati Campus

Introduction

The Campus is strategically located in the town center’s Eliander Mwatale Street, off the Main Road C46, next to the Oshakati Independence Stadium. We are within a walking distance to the Oshakati State Teaching Hospital, Hotels, and Restaurants as well as to the major Shopping Malls in Oshakati.

Video and teleconferencing facilities are common practice at the Campus, allowing specialist lecturers to teach students pursuing postgraduate programmes, from the main campus or anywhere in the world.
