Makerere University will tomorrow release a full list of all students admitted to the institution for the academic year 2015/2016.
The University in May this year opened up for applications from students in Uganda, East Africa, S. Sudan and other international applicants, for undergraduate programmes under the private sponsorship scheme for the 2015/2016 Academic Year.
Eligible applicants were required to have the Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) with at least five passes, or its equivalent and at least two principal passes at Advanced Level (UACE) obtained at the same sitting. For day programmes, only candidates who sat A’ Level in 2014, 2013 and 2012 were eligible to apply.
For the evening, afternoon, and external programmes, candidates were not restricted on the year of sitting A ‘Level.
All applicants for the Bachelors of Laws must have sat and passed the Pre-Entry Examinations set by the University. The Academic Registrar in May released the results for the Bachelor of Law Pre-Entry Examination 2014-2015 sat on Saturday 3rd April 2014.
The results showed that only 397 of the 2082, S.6 leavers who sat the exam achieved the 50 percent pass mark to select those who qualify for admission to law school.
In May, a list of over 2,097 students admitted under government sponsorship was released, with Makerere taking the lion’s share of about 1,326 students.
In a similar development, one of the local newspapers announced in March this year that the University planned to phase out six diploma programmes, which included Library and Information Studies, record and Archives management, Project Planning and Management, Youth in development network, Performing Arts and Civil engineering Survey.
