The Polytechnic of Namibia is driven by the belief that development (national or international) is based on knowledge and knowledge management.
Academic institutions have always been key agents in the dissemination of knowledge. Since the advent of the Internet, the spread and management of knowledge have taken on a new meaning and "globalization" is very much the result thereof.
The Polytechnic of Namibia contributes to Namibia's development by providing tertiary technological career-oriented education at internationally recognized standards. The main objective of our curricula is thus the practice, promotion and transfer of technology.
The Polytechnic offers Full-time (FM), Part-time (PM), Distance Education (DE), and extra-curricular courses. As of 2010 the Polytechnic of Namibia will be enrolling more than 11000 students. The medium of instruction is English.
Student Services are designed to contribute to the health, social, academic, career, sports, cultural, moral, intellectual, and physical well-being of students. These services help students gain self-confidence and sense of community.
Our mission is to promote national competitiveness by providing multiple opportunities for excellent education, applied research, innovation and service.
