Courses Offered at North-West University (NWU) for 2027
Public universityNorth-West University is a large public university operating across three campuses in Mahikeng, Potchefstroom, and Vanderbijlpark, each with its own character and language profile while sharing a single set of faculties and qualifications. Its academic offering ranges widely, from health sciences, pharmacy, and nursing, through natural and agricultural sciences, commerce and management, humanities and languages, to education, engineering, law, and theology, with many programmes also offering extended four-year curricula for students who need additional academic foundation. The university positions itself around accessible, high-quality education, strong residence and student-life offerings, and a generous internal bursary scheme tied to academic merit, alongside sport and cultural programmes across all three campuses. Admission is coordinated through NWU's own online application system, with programme selection typically based on the National Senior Certificate, an Admission Point Score calculated from six best subjects, and in some faculties additional selection tests, portfolios, or auditions.
