Postgraduate Support Centre banner

Welcome to the NWU Postgraduate Support Centre (PSC)! We are excited that you chose the NWU to further your academic journey.

PSC is situated within the Research and Postgraduate Support Directorate, in the Division for Research and Innovation. We offer a range of training initiatives and support to help NWU postgraduate students enhance their research and academic writing skills and by providing additional research-related tools, skills and strategies to ensure that they finish their degrees in good time. This is achieved with the support of the University Capacity Development Grant (UCDG).

Postgraduate studies can be challenging, but the Centre provides support to postgraduate students by offering interventions throughout your research journey to enhance your academic and interpersonal skills development (over and above what you will receive from your academic department). You’ll find all the necessary support and resources to complete your postgraduate studies successfully.
