Are you interested in studying in the North-West University, South Africa, one of the first thing that you are expected to check about the university is the amount that is payable as their school fees. If you have been searching for this, you have to read this article well.
To those that are New Students or Current Student of the University, you are also required to read this to find out the North-West University School Fees for 2023-2024 academic year.

According to the released fees schedules, the minimum amount that a student of NWU can pay is R 11290 for the first semester.

North-West University School Fees differs according to these classes of students; University Residence Students, Non-Residence, Distance Students and International Students. Follow this article let me show you the breakdown of the school fees schedule.
Tuition fees are made up of two components. The first is the module costs which is based on the specific modules for which a student register. The second is the qualification programme cost. This levy is an adjustment the University makes to the total cost of the specific degree to reflect correctly both the market value of the qualification programme and the demands the qualification programme place on the University infrastructure.
Diploma, undergraduate, honours and Distance Qualifications tuition fees are paid at Tarrif per Module.
However, Masters and doctorate qualifications, are payable at only a tariff per qualification that the student has been enrolled for, except for the MBA (Master of Business Administration), MPA (Master of Public Administration) and some masters qualifications in the Faculties of Theology and Health Sciences which are levied per registered modules.
