The Malawi University of Science and Technology is pleased to announce names of students selected into three of its undergraduate programmes for the 2023/24 academic year under the Open and Distance E-Learning (ODeL).

Students under ODeL attend classes delivered online with scheduled face-to-face classes that are determined from time to time.

Tuition fees is K585,000 per academic year which can be paid in two equal instalments of K292,500 per semester.
