2023 Annual Report

Traversing time, our strive towards greatness without boundaries spans our past and our future – it is both part of the NWU’s DNA and heritage, and a proud legacy we want to leave for future generations.
As a result, Greatness without boundaries became the theme interlacing all our activities in 2023 and, by extension, the story we tell in this integrated report.
Our first intention with our story is to show you how we as a university offer people numerous opportunities to guide and empower them on their own journeys towards greatness. Our second aim is to invite you, our readers, to witness how
we create value for ourselves and our stakeholders while continuing to pursue ever-expanding greatness.

We aim to show you how we mobilised and affected our resources, skills and relationships, known as our “capitals”, for the greater good. There are six capitals: intellectual, human, social and relationship, manufactured, natural and financial.
