If you’re a prospective student, start here: check admission deadlines, course lists and entry requirements. UoN publishes application dates for undergraduate and postgraduate programmes each year. Keep an eye on the official admission portal and on campus notices for any changes to intake numbers, scholarship offers or document requirements.

Research, Funding and Partnerships
UoN is active in research across agriculture, public health, engineering and social sciences. We report on major grants, new labs and partnerships with local and international institutions. For researchers and staff, our updates cover grant deadlines, callouts for collaborators, and summaries of high-impact studies coming out of UoN. That helps students find supervisors and journalists spot story leads.
University-industry partnerships often lead to internships and jobs for graduates. We track collaborations between UoN and companies, NGOs, and government bodies so you can see where funding and opportunities are heading. When a research team wins a grant or launches a public program, we explain what that means for students and the public in plain terms.
Events, Sports and Student Life
From graduation ceremonies to cultural festivals and varsity matches, campus events shape student life. We post schedules for major events, highlight winners in university sports, and share practical tips for attending: ticket info, transport options and what to expect at big gatherings. That’s useful whether you’re on campus or following from afar.
Student groups and clubs often run community projects and startup pitches. We spotlight successful student ventures and social initiatives so prospective students can see active campus communities and so alumni can follow alumni-led projects.
