The University of Namibia (UNAM) says it is fulfilling its role as a driver of education, research, and national development.

The institution is focusing on innovation and partnerships to tackle the country's developmental challenges.

The University of Namibia (UNAM) has received research grants to enhance research on food and water security, health, and climate change adaptation from the National Commission on Research, Science, and Technology (NCRST).

UNAM's Vice Chancellor, Professor Kenneth Matengu, is concerned about the application versus admissions ratio at the UNAM Southern Campus.

He raised this during his State of the University Address, which is part of the ten-year celebrations of the Southern Campus at Keetmanshoop. 

Vice President Nangolo Mbumba says Namibia has taken a giant leap forward in its pursuit of excellence in diplomacy with the opening of the School of Diplomatic Studies, launched by the Ministry of International Relations and Cooperation in collaboration with the University of Namibia.
