North-West University (Potchefstroom) in South Africa
The North-West University is a public research university located on three campuses in Potchefstroom, Mahikeng and Vanderbijlpark in South Africa. The university came into existence through the merger of the Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Education, which also had a branch in Vanderbijlpark, and the University of North-West (formerly the University of Bophuthatswana) in 2004.
With its merged status, the North-West University became one of the largest universities in South Africa with the third largest student population (full-time and distance education) in the country
