Apply to NWU: here’s your step-by-step guide

Welcome prospective North-West University students! This video guide will walk you through the application process for the North-West University (NWU).

Key information to know before you apply:

• You can only apply once per academic year.
• You can select up to two study choices.
• You need to have a valid, unique, and memorable personal email address.
• You need to have your identity document (not your birth certificate) and final Grade 11 or 12 results (if you’ve already completed your matric) digitally on hand.
• Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission to NWU. The admission decision is final, and no appeals are allowed.
