HEQSFalignment
Alluniversities in South Africa were obligated by law to take part in a NationalProject driven by the regulatory bodies (Department of Higher Education anTraining (DHET), the Council on Higher Education (CHE) and the South AfricanQualifications Authority (SAQA), to align all qualifications with the HigherEducation Qualification Sub Framework (HEQSF). The NWU is thus currently in anongoing process of aligning our qualification and programme offering with therequirements of the HEQSF.
Prospectivestudents must take notice of the fact that NWU qualification names, programmenames as well as the composition of curricula may change due to the HEQSFProject, prior to registration for the 2018 academic year. Successfulcandidates are advised to contact the relevant faculty in order to ensure thatthey register for thecorrect qualification, programme and /or curriculum.
Youare now part of a larger NWUcommunity. Whether you reside in a university residence, a flat or otherprivate accommodation, you are just as much a part of the NWU as any otherstudent.
