University of Namibia
The University of Namibia is the first Global Civic Mission partner of Cardiff University, built on a long standing collaboration and partnership. The agreement signifies our commitment to a mutually beneficial relationship between our institutions and nations.
For over a decade the partnership has facilitated the successful delivery of outcomes across a broad and diverse range of research, education, and health projects, addressing social and health inequalities, climate change, water resilience, and the protection of heritage and cultural assets.
Our partnership with UNAM continues to expand, deepening our networks with Namibia and across the African continent, bringing together shared interests, increasing research capacity, and supporting reciprocity and innovation.

About University of Namibia
Established in 1992, the University of Namibia (UNAM) has 17 schools based within 4 faculties, across 12 campuses located in the North and South of Namibia and its capital, Windhoek.
It offers a variety of undergraduate and post graduate programmes which include a range of health professions and veterinary science, engineering, business, and law.
UNAM has over 30,000 students and over 2,000 staff, making it the largest tertiary institution in Namibia.
At a time when partnerships with African universities are being keenly sought by many institutions, we are showcasing Cardiff’s excellence in teaching and research and make a compelling case for the university as an equitable partner in order to strengthen our mutual capacity and capabilities, including by creating opportunities for international mobility.
Our partnerships
The collaboration between our two universities over the years is important for me, as the cooperation has been relevant, responsive, and had a global impact.
Get in touch
Our partnership with the UNAM provides a wide range of global engagement opportunities for staff and students at both institutions.
