The University of Malawi is pleased to announce the results of the 2008 University Entrance Examinations (UEE) and names of candidates who have been selected to pursue various programmes of the University of Malawi for the 2008 to 2009 academic year as residential students.

Candidates selected to Kamuzu College of Nursing were further subjected to oral interviews meant to establish their interest in nursing.

This year, the University of Malawi has selected 974 candidates to enter the university as residential candidates, representing 32% of eligible candidates for admission. Of the total selected, 590 are males representing 22% of eligible male candidates while 384 are females and representing 50% of eligible female candidates.

The University of Malawi is committed to offer university education to as many qualifying Malawians as possible, but it is hampered by the limitation of bed spaces on its campuses. It is in this spirit that the University wishes to advise those that have passed University Entrance Examinations but have not been selected and would like to be considered for admission as non-residential students to apply for the same. Full details on how to go about applying for non-residential programmes shall be communicated through the print media in due course.
