BSc Dietetics Course Breakdown
Admission requirements for BSc in Dietetics
Admissions to all regular undergraduate programs are processed through the Ministry of Education (MoE) of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia. This is currently true for all public universities across the whole nation. Admission to the Continuing Education Program (CEP) is processed through the University’s registrar. Students who have successfully completed the Preparatory Education and have secured a minimum cut-off point set by the Ministry of Education of Ethiopia in natural sciences are eligible to join the regular undergraduate BSc programs. International applicants with high scores in natural sciences from their foreign country’s examination, which is considered to be equivalent to the Ethiopian Preparatory Education Program, are also eligible. The minimum cut-off point is applicable for these students too.
