Applying to RP

If you completed your previous studies outside Rwanda, your qualifications must be assessed to confirm that they meet Rwanda Polytechnic's admission requirements. As part of the application process, you will need to provide an equivalence certificate issued by the National Examination and School Inspection Authority (NESA) or another competent Rwandan authority responsible for qualification equivalence. Your application will be reviewed by the Rwanda Polytechnic Admissions Board, which may request additional verification where necessary. Start the equivalence process early to give yourself enough time to complete the process before the application deadline.

From the vibrant Kigali to the country is lakes, mountains, national parks, and vibrant communities, Rwanda offers an enriching setting in which to learn, explore, and build lasting connections.
