Overview

Dr. Kauna Mufeti

Welcome the School of Computing

The School of Computing at the University of Namibia was established in January 2015. Prior to that, Computing related studies were offered through the Department of Computer Science, which was established at UNAM in 1993. Housed under the Faculty of Science, the Department had focused on the training of Computer Science major students, and also offered the UNAM core module, Computer Literacy, to all First Year students. The Department also offered elective modules for disciplines that required computational processes in their Bachelor of Science qualification (e.g. in Physics or Mathematics).

The School of Computing currently has the following three academic departments: The Department of Computer Science, the Department of Information Technology and the Department of Information Systems. 

The vision of the School is to be a Centre of Excellence in developing computing knowledge and expertise in our country, region and beyond. Its mission is to equip graduates with requisite skills for professional careers in computing that transcends the fast evolving technology, while contributing to the economic growth and improved quality of life of our communities through research and development. The School is thus striving to find better ways to equip graduates with skills that are relevant to the industry’s manpower demands. This is in line with the principal objective of the Faculty of Science and the University, which emphasizes demand oriented, needs driven and locally relevant programmes that are comparatively universal.
