International University of Management Admission 2027

Admission at a glance

International applicants to International University of Management (IUM) follow the same admission process as Namibian applicants and apply online through the IUM student portal. Undergraduate applicants need a Namibia Senior Secondary Certificate or an equivalent qualification, a pass in five subjects including English at Grade D, and a minimum of 25 points on the IUM evaluation scale. Non-Namibian qualifications must be evaluated by the Namibia Qualifications Authority before they can be accepted for admission. Postgraduate applicants need a relevant prior degree; Master's applicants must also submit three recommendation letters and a two-page motivation write-up, and postgraduate admissions run once a year for the January intake. Foreign students who were not taught in English must sit an English assessment exam during registration to confirm any conditions of entry, and postgraduate applicants may also be required to sit a Graduate English Examination. International students must hold a valid entry or study visa and an original police clearance certificate from their home country before they register, and they must make prior arrangements with IUM management to guarantee payment of fees. Non-SADC international students pay an additional deposit on top of the standard tuition and registration fees that apply to all students; SADC students do not pay this additional amount. Applications for the 2027 entry cycle open on 13 July 2026 and close on 30 October 2026.
