Admissions

Entry requirements

Bachelor's degrees

Diplomas

Certificates from outside South Sudan must be certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and by the South Sudan embassy in the country where you studied.

Reference letters

Every applicant submits two letters of reference: one from a senior teacher and one from a respected community figure, such as your parish priest.

English and the introductory year

Applicants who are not yet proficient in English take a one-month intensive English course, with an exam, before starting. All first-year students then take the common introductory year in study skills, logic, English, mathematics, computing, accounting, social analysis and ethics; its results decide promotion to Year 2.

Economics, Business Administration, Education, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences students must pass Introductory Year Mathematics with at least a grade C before entering Year 2.
