During the visit, the Malawi School Certificate of Education (MSCE) candidates toured various key facilities on campus, including the Library and Engineering Laboratories. The tour was followed by an orientation session on academic programmes offered across the different schools at the university.

Speaking during the career guidance session, MUBAS Admissions Officer, Doreen Pasiya, emphasized the importance of dedication and hard work in science subjects as a key requirement for admission into Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) programmes offered at the institution. She also encouraged female learners to remain confident and ambitious in pursuing science-related careers.

One of the learners from Mulanje Mission CDSS, Harmony Goodson, shared that the visit helped him identify the programme he would like to pursue in future.

“During the talk, they mentioned a programme that aligns with what I am passionate about, Biochemical Engineering, and that gave me confidence that if I work hard in science subjects, I will one day walk through these corridors as a MUBAS student,” said Goodson.

In his remarks, Headteacher for Likwenu CDSS, Bennie Chisale, expressed gratitude to MUBAS for granting them an opportunity to visit the university and that the exposure had broadened the learners’ understanding of higher education opportunities and would greatly benefit them as they prepare for tertiary education.

“Whenever we visit places like this, our learners become encouraged, and in return they work harder in class because they begin to see that one day they too can be selected to study at institutions like MUBAS,” he said.

The visit demonstrated MUBAS’ continued commitment to community engagement and academic mentorship by creating opportunities for secondary school learners to interact with the university environment firsthand.
