North West University Engineering

The Faculty of Engineering on the Potchefstroom Campus of the North-West University continually strives to be a training hub for high-quality, versatile and innovative engineers. We pride ourselves on world class teaching standards, a sound value system, innovative thinking and passion.

Engineers find ways to do things better, faster and more efficient. They make life easier by adding value to and optimising available resources. They reduce manufacturing costs by designing better processes. They are the modern day MacGyvers who improve the quality of people’s lives on a continuous basis. In short? The world would be lost without them.
