Mathematics is a challenging subject for many students, and it can be a barrier to pursuing higher education. However, there are many North West University (NWU) courses that do not require any maths or maths lit. This means that even if you struggled with maths in high school, you can still pursue a university degree or diploma.

 

North West University (NWU) courses that do not require maths or maths lit

Can I study at NWU without maths?

The answer to this question depends on what course you want to study. Some courses at NWU require maths as a compulsory subject, while others do not. For example, if you want to study engineering, science, or information and communication technology, you will need maths as one of your subjects. However, if you want to study arts and design, humanities, or management sciences, you might not need maths at all.

Keep in mind that even if a course does not require maths, it might require other subjects such as English, Tourism, Geography, Business Studies and Economics. Therefore, it is important to check the course details and requirements before applying. It is important to keep in mind that meeting the minimum admission points does not guarantee admission. The admission process is competitive and depends on the availability of space and the number of applicants. Therefore, it is advisable to apply as early as possible and to have a backup plan in case you do not get accepted.

For specific and up to date requirements for each course, check the NWU Prospectus. The NWU prospectus shows the list all the courses and their admission criteria. You can also visit the NWU website for more information about the institution and more.
