I am a student at Makerere University Business School doing a Bachelor’s degree in Finance and I am in my second year. Mubs is located in Nakawa. It is a very nice public university and I would recommend all my friends who want to do business courses to join it. It ventures in business related courses but the main branch is Makerere University which has a variety of other courses for example Art, teaching, architecture, agriculture, doctorate courses and many others.

Necessary documents required to get admission
To become a student at Mubs, you must have the needed documents so that your admission is considered. The requirements needed are as below;

• You must have passed your A’level with 10 points and above
• Application fee of 30,000ugx
• Two passport size photos
• A photocopy of your birth certificate
• A photocopy of your O’level pass slip(certificate)
• A photocopy of your A’level pass slip(certificate)
• Former school identity card.

Cut of points required for a year one student
At Mubs, there are very many business courses and all of them have different cut off points. Usually if you passed your business subject in the combination you were doing in A’level and u also passed General paper(Gp) and Mathematics, then you are at a high advantage of raising the cut off points. The cut off points for Finance are 30.

When I was applying, I had to calculate my cut off weights for different courses that I had applied for and I will show how I calculate the points.
You get the points you got and multiply them according to the category that subject falls.

For example I got a “C” in Economics and it is an essential subject. That means those are 3 points so I multiply my 3 points and the 3 that the essential subject(s) carries. You then have to calculate and add up so that you can get the total weights you have and see if they can enable you get your desirable course.

The combination you do might have 2essential subjects or 1. It can as well have 1 essential subject, no relevant subject and 2 desirable subjects depending on the course you want.

• Essential subjects carry (x3)
• Relevant subjects carry (x2)
• Desirable subjects carry (x1)
• And the (x1.5) point added for all girls in the country

My A’level combination was DEL/S.M +G.P which is;
Divinity, Economics, Literature, Sub Mathematics and General Paper.

The underlined marks were my weights for the different courses.
