General Information
1.1. Introduction
The university offers both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. This pages is about general information regarding application/admission dates, tuition fees, scholarship prospects, etc.
1.2. Admission Dates
The detailed requirements for admission into departments, and the procedure to be followed in making an application can be found in the Regulation section of the individual Faculty Handbooks. Prospective applicants may obtain forms from the University Admission Secretary. The forms must be returned directly to the Admissions Secretary, NUL P.O. Roma 180 Lesotho. Deadline for receiving filled application forms is 31st March each year.
It must be stressed that application for a Government, or other Scholarships tenable at NUL does not take the place of application to the University for admission. However, prospective applicants need not wait until they are assured of a Scholarship before applying for admission to the University: the two applications can go forward in parallel. Similarly, there is no objection to students who are applying for places or courses at other universities or educational institutions also applying to NUL in parallel, if they are appropriately qualified. Indeed they are encouraged to do so.
As far as the University is concerned, however, it must be stressed that no application can be considered until all the forms and other requirements outlined in the Admission Regulations in the Faculty Handbooks have been received.
Details about University fees and deposits can be obtained on request from the Admissions Secretary or as part of the information papers sent to prospective applicants. It should be noted that statutory fees and expenses do not include the cost of books, notebooks, stationery, personal laboratory equipment, personal sports equipment, medical attention, repair of clothes, dry cleaning, etc. The cost of travel to and from the University is entirely the student's responsibility.
Many governments are prepared to offer scholarships or grants to prospective students and information about these should be obtained from the appropriate authority in the country concerned. Some NGOs, International Organisations, industrial trusts, and corporations also offer awards, usually through the appropriate government or agency, and information about these should be sought accordingly.
Although every effort will be made to ensure that no student is deprived of an opportunity to study for lack of money, admission to the University does not imply that a scholarship is available.
The University does not make loans of any nature to students.
