Foreign Qualifications Guidelines
Equating Qualifications
Equating is the process of determining the equal value of foreign qualifications against recognized Ugandan qualifications such as the Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) and the Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE) to determine appropriate entry points based on performance.
Validating Qualifications
Validating is the process of ensuring that qualifications from other countries are recognized and have an equal value to their counterparts within the Ugandan educational framework. Combined, these processes ensure that students being admitted into Ndejje University have had their foreign qualifications scrutinized, ensuring they meet the standards equivalent to Ugandan qualifications as a basis for entry.
