How to Apply

Find the program of study right for you.

Ensure you qualify with the minimum entry requirements for your selected program.

• Apply online, or
• Download an application form, or
• Request the form be emailed to you, or
• Obtain the Form from the Main Campus. You are required to Pay the Application Fee at the point of obtaining the form.

No matter how you apply, please ensure you thoroughly complete the application form and attach all required documentation. Failure to do so will prohibit processing, and late receipt of your documentation will delay consideration.

Documentation may include, but not be limited to, certified copies of your GCE (or equivalent) certificate, transcripts and awards from previous study, and proof of your identity (NRC or passport).

International applicants are required to furnish proof of English proficiency and/or Zambian Citizenship or Residency Permit, where applicable.

Be sure to pay close attention to application deadlines. Applications received after the closing date will only be considered if:

• you are willing to complete the application process prior to orientation week;
• you will not require additional processing, such as obtaining a visa;
• vacancies within the program for which you applied remain.

Your application is only considered complete after you pay a non-refundable Application for Admission Fee:

• Undergraduate Program Applications:
  • K120.00 for Zambian and SADC member state applicants;
  • K200.00 for international applicants
• Postgraduate Program Applications:
  • K200.00 for Zambian and SADC member state applicants;
  • K300.00 for international applicants
