Botswana Open University School Fees Details

Botswana Open University School Fees Structure

Botswana Open University (BOU) is a result of the transformation of the Botswana College of Distance and Open Learning (BOCODOL). The transformation was the actualization of the recommendation of the Tertiary Education Policy that a comprehensive national distance education institution is established.

The institution would develop, offer and accredit university-level programmes independently without being tied to collaborating partners.  Botswana Open University was developed to meet the growing local demand for ODL tertiary level programmes.
