North-West University (NWU)

The North-West University (NWU) is a public research university in South Africa with campuses in Potchefstroom, Mahikeng, and Vanderbijlpark. In 2004, the Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Education, which also had a branch in Vanderbijlpark, merged with the University of North-West (formerly the University of Bophuthatswana). With its merged status, North-West University became one of South Africa's largest universities, with the country's third-largest student population (full-time and distance education).

It is one of the leaders in distance learning in South Africa, as well as one of the largest overall, with approximately 45.000 students. The university has seven faculties, with the Faculty of Education being the most popular among students. Students from over 25 countries are currently enrolled, and the university's international offices provide excellent support. The majority of foreign undergraduates are from neighboring Botswana.
