The University of Namibia has experienced significant enrollment growth over the past two decades, increasing sixfold from under 5,000 students in 2000 to nearly 30,000 in 2024. While enrollment peaked in 2020, recent figures remain substantially higher than pre-2016 levels. Throughout this period, women have consistently constituted the majority of students, with their share rising from 57.7% in 2000 to 62.7% in 2024.
The faculty of Education and Human Sciences remains the largest, accounting for 42% of all students in 2024, followed by Commerce, Management, and Law. Health Sciences and Veterinary Medicine has seen substantial growth and is the most female-dominated faculty, while Agriculture, Engineering, and Natural Sciences is the sole male-dominated faculty.
Understanding enrollment trends and gender distribution within Namibia's largest university is crucial for assessing the nation's educational landscape and future workforce development, especially given challenges in graduate employment.
