The Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) plans to construct a new campus in Kleine Kuppe at an estimated cost of N$750 million.
Construction is expected to commence in the second half of 2025, with completion anticipated within three years, subject to funding availability.
The first phase of the development will accommodate approximately 3,200 students, with a focus on executive management education. The campus will be specifically designated for the Harold Pupkewitz Graduate Business School (HPGBS).
“The Harold Pupkewitz Graduate Business School (HPGBS) is a key pillar in this expansion. In aligning with global trends in business education, we are committed to ensuring our business school caters to the increasing demand for postgraduate qualifications, including our industry-leading MBAs as well as other executive education programmes,” NUST Public Relations Officer Cindy van Wyk told The Brief.
The expansion forms part of NUST’s broader strategy to enhance access to education and strengthen its role in Namibia’s economic and professional development. It aligns with the university’s 2020-2025 Strategic Plan and will be fully integrated into the upcoming 2026-2029 Strategic Business Plan.
NUST Vice-Chancellor Erold Naomab emphasized the significance of the project.
“This campus will serve as a hub for innovation and learning, featuring modern classrooms, advanced laboratories, collaborative spaces, and student support facilities. This is a significant investment in the future of our university, and more importantly, in the future of Namibia’s youth,” he said.
The announcement comes as NUST marks 10 years since the enactment of the NUST Act of Parliament (No. 7 of 2015), reinforcing its commitment to expanding educational opportunities in the country.
