🇦🇴 How to apply to university in Angola

There is no central application system: you apply to each institution directly. Programmes usually start: Once a year. Public institutions such as the Universidade Agostinho Neto run their own entrance examination (exame de acesso) before the academic year; UAN's admission for 2026/2027 was closed in September 2026.

Checked on 23 October 2026 against the official sources listed below.

Key dates

There is no central application system that we found. The Universidade Agostinho Neto said on 14 September 2026 that its 2026/2027 places were filled and no second sitting would be held; the dates for 2027/2028 had not been published when this was checked. UAN announces its dates in its call for applications (edital); other institutions publish their own.

The dates for the next intake haven't been published yet. We add them once the official source does.

Your checklist

The usual steps for an international student applying to a bachelor's in Angola, in order. Tick them off as you go — your ticks stay in this browser, with no account.

1.Choose an institution and degree; the Universidade Agostinho Neto, for example, admits through its own entrance examination.
2.Read that year's call for applications (edital) on the institution's site: it gives the places, the subjects examined for each degree, the registration dates and the fee.
3.Gather your documents: your secondary-school certificate (certificado de habilitações) and your identity document — a passport if you are not Angolan.
4.Register in person at the institution's registration points or online, as the edital says, and pay the registration fee within the deadline.
5.Check the topics for your degree's examination, which the institution publishes by subject area.
6.Sit the entrance examination on the date and at the place the edital gives.
7.If admitted, go to the faculty or school that admitted you for its enrolment (matrícula) dates and procedure.
8.Ask the institution how a secondary qualification from abroad is recognised, and check which visa you need to study in Angola with its embassy.
