Find out what you need to submit, what previous studies meet the general entry requirements, how to meet the English requirement and any special instructions for your country of study.
Meeting the general entry requirements
The following meet the general requirement:
Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) and Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE), with a minimum of eight subjects in total of which at least two must be Principal Pass at Advanced Level.
To document your eligibility, please submit the Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) and Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE). You're required to submit the officially issued certificate.
Meeting the English requirement
You can meet the English requirement with your upper secondary studies with Uganda Certificate of Education.
Students with a completely documented Bachelor’s degree from a recognised university in Uganda are considered to have a sufficient level of English
You can also demonstrate that you meet the English language requirement through an internationally approved English test.
To complete your admissions application, you must provide the following documentation:
1. Record of completed upper secondary (high school) education
For your eligibility for courses and programmes at the bachelor's level to be determined - and for you to compete with other applicants for available places in courses and programmes - you must submit your upper secondary qualifications.
This completed education must qualify you for higher education studies in the country you received it.
2. Identification document
To speed up the processing of your application, we require a copy of the page in your passport with your personal data and photograph, or a similar identification document.
What about university records?
Your university qualifications cannot be considered instead of your upper secondary (high school) qualifications. However, the results from your previous university studies may help you meet the specific entry requirements for a course or programme. We therefore recommend that you submit documentation of your university studies.
As documents from this country are normally issued in English, you don't need to provide translations.
