It had 4,000 students and 270 staff in 2017[update], Eckhart Mueller was its executive director until he was murdered with his deputy on 15 April 2019.[1] NIMT offers courses in mining, manufacturing and engineering.[2] In 2007, De Beers donated N$2.1 million to open a second northern campus and in November of that year a campus was opened in Tsumeb.
