National University of Samoa anticipates more students to enroll in 2021 academic year

“Students should think of a job they want to do as a guide rather than thinking of a degree,” advises the Vice Chancellor.

“If they can’t get in because of course requirements, then consider another or a bridging course,” says Dr Ekeroma.

He added “We aim to be customer-focused by designing an enrolment process that minimises long delays, maximises comfort and clarity of programme requirements for parents and students.”

Hundreds of students flocked the campus during the second day of enrolment week today to enroll for the 2021 academic year.
