Academic and Vocational Offerings
As a classic polytechnic the institution offers both higher-level vocational training and academic degrees in technical subjects and the applied sciences. In many cases these programs can be combined such that the academic degree can be attempted after a more basic vocational training was successfully passed.
The Polytechnic of Namibia comprises six academic schools and offers undergraduate as well as postgraduate degrees in the areas of business and management, engineering, information technology, journalism, hospitality, natural resource management, and medicine. As of 2010 there are 86 undergraduate and 19 postgraduate degrees offered at the institution.
