Are the programmes offered by the NWU on standard?
All academic programmes at the NWU are graded according to the criteria
of the Higher Education Quality Committee (HEQC). If a programme is
found not to comply with the minimum standards during the external
programme evaluation, a post-EPE visit is undertaken to ensure that
improvement plans are implemented to improve the grading of the
programme to the minimum standards.
In 2010, nine post-EPE visits took place on the campus.
