What the record actually says
KUST rule for Higher Diplomas: four to five credits including English Language OR Mathematics, not more than two sittings (EduGuide checks four). EduGuide ASSUMES the science subjects shown — confirm. KUST's website still advertises the 2025/26 intake (applications closed 30 Sept 2025) and has not posted 2026/27 information — confirm dates with the Registrar (+232 76 471170).
