Rwanda Polytechnic also welcomes international students to join its programs in its colleges as well. At the moment, both international and national students have similar requirements for being admitted to RP programs (see the RP student handbook).
However, applications for admission from international and national students who hold international degrees, will be analyzed and approved by the RP admission board. If judged necessary by the RP admission board, it shall request a recommendation from the competent authority in providing qualification equivalence (e.g., NESA) to ensure the qualifications of international students are of the required standards.
The period of applications for admission will be announced at RP Website. Every student must hold both a student card and proof of registration during lecture and assessment periods. Only registered students will have access to the learning materials and other related facilitations. Both national and international students must comply with registration regulations as discussed in the student handbook. For more information, please contact registrar@rp.ac.rw
