North-West University (NWU), established on 1 January 2004 through the merger of the University of North-West, Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Education, and Vista University’s Sebokeng Campus, symbolizes reconciliation and nation-building. This successful merger has led to financial stability, improved student success rates, and increased research output.
NWU offers a diverse range of academic programs, integrated with community engagement and innovation, across its three campuses. The university is committed to global collaboration, fostering international student and staff exchanges.
The university’s mascot, Eagi, embodies NWU’s values of success, aspiration, and ethical conduct, reminding the community to continuously strive for excellence. As the University Anthem states, NWU is where knowledge grows and students are prepared to make their mark on the world.

NWU Walks for Change Against GBVF
🚶♀️🚶♂️✊ 🚶♀️🚶♂️✊ 🚶♀️🚶♂️✊
Every step taken is a step towards change. NWU students and the SCC at the Vanderbijlpark Campus came together to take a stand against Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF). The message was clear – silence is not an option, and action is needed to create a safer future.
Walking for Awareness and Change 🚶♂️💜
The walk was not just about raising awareness; it was about making a statement. Students, staff, and supporters joined forces to show solidarity, spark conversations, and remind society that GBVF affects us all.
Every sign, every step, and every voice added to the call for justice, safety, and respect for all.
These moments of unity remind us that change starts with individuals who are willing to speak up and take action.
Your Voice Matters! 🗣️✊
Ending GBVF requires continuous effort, education, and action. NWU is committed to being part of the solution – but change happens when everyone takes responsibility. Whether it’s standing up for someone, supporting survivors, or challenging harmful mindsets, your voice and actions matter.
A huge salute to everyone who took part in the walk – your presence made an impact! Let’s keep pushing for a future free from violence. 💜🚶♀️
