Women's University in Africa: the applicant's brief

6 findings
  1. The short answer

    Women’s University in Africa is a Zimbabwean university focused on widening access to tertiary education for women while still admitting men. It suits applicants who want a university with a gender-equity mission and do not need a published programme list to start their search.

  2. What you can study

    The university’s stated focus is on knowledge and skills in areas of vital importance for women, but no programme catalogue is published in the facts available here. If you want to apply, check the official website for the current list of degrees, diplomas, and any subject areas offered.

  3. Getting in

    The university has an enrolment policy of 80% women and 20% men, so gender balance is part of the application environment. International applicants should check the official site for entry requirements, required documents, deadlines, and how the university handles visa or residency questions for students coming from abroad.

  4. What it costs

    Tuition is in USD, but no fee amount or fee range is published. The university does not publish a fee for international students; confirm the current rate with its admissions office. Living costs in Marondera will depend on housing, transport, food, and personal spending.

  5. Coming from abroad

    The language of instruction is not published, so confirm that before applying. International students should also check whether the university accepts foreign qualifications, what documents need to be legalised or certified, and what support is available for visas, accommodation, and arrival steps.

  6. How it compares

    Zimbabwe has 15 universities in total, so Women’s University in Africa is one option in a relatively small national sector. Its main distinction is its gender-equity mission and its 80% women, 20% men enrolment policy, which sets it apart from a general-purpose university choice.
