NWU's application-dates page could not be read directly during this build. The application-fee and NBT facts above come from NWU's own study pages, but the 2027 dates are not yet confirmed. Rather than repeat a date from a news site or another calculator, this page shows nothing until the institution itself confirms it.
Check NWU's official application page →Universities change closing dates, and many close applications early once a programme is full. Some also stop taking applications for individual programmes while the general window is still open. Treat every date here as a prompt to check the official portal, not as a guarantee that you still have time.
Know your NWU score before you apply
NWU adds your best 6 subjects (Life Orientation excluded) on a 1-8 scale for a maximum of 48. NWU's own APS calculator scores 90-100% as 8 points, so an NWU score is not comparable with a 42-point APS.
