The Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) is calling on students with 22 points and more to apply for non-STEM programs at its regional and satellite campuses. 

Wynard Diergaardt, the Director of Lifelong Learning, addressed an information session with ||Kharas Governor Aletha Fredericks, at Keetmanshoop. 

NUST is to introduce its bridging educational programs to students in the ||Kharas Region. 

Students can now apply for non-STEM subjects which include Commerce and Social Sciences. 

"Students can now apply that did not meet the 25 entry requirement points on their last admission scale, if they have between 22 and 24 points they can now apply for these non-STEM programs, these programs will be offered at all our regional centers and satellite campuses." 

||Kharas Governor Aletha Fredericks commended NUST for opening its regional center and welcomed the soon-to-be-opened satellite campus at Luderitz. 

"Thank you very much for bringing NUST to our side, especially to the isolated town of Luderitz, we see it really deserves more opportunities so that nobody feels excluded from that side of the country, we appreciate that."

Acting ||Kharas Education Director, Jesmine Magerman said they would like to see their learners get the opportunity to enter these bridging causes so that they can also build on their future, and make sure that they achieve success.  
 
The two-year bridging program can be completed in one year, and upon passing it, students qualify for any NQA level seven Bachelor's Degree programs in the Commerce and Social Sciences fields.
