Students who have completed year one of an undergraduate degree from University of Botswana can apply directly to an undergraduate degree. Alternatively, students who have completed high school in Botswana can undertake a foundation year with our partner, INTO City, which offers guaranteed progression to City. If you would like to know specific entry requirements for a course, please email Adam-Lucas Pettit.

International qualifications such as A level and IB are also accepted for direct entry, and details of grades requirements for these qualifications can be found on the course pages.

Applicants will be considered for most postgraduate courses with a good Batswana bachelor’s degree from a recognised University. Entry requirements will vary by course for more information about specific course requirements please contact Adam-Lucas Pettit.

Students who don’t meet the requirements for direct entry may have the option to undertake our Graduate Diploma programme at INTO City, which then offers the opportunity for guaranteed entry into City’s Masters programmes.
