Back in 2012, I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources Management/Personnel Administration from North-West University. The program gave me a solid understanding of all things HR, from recruitment and training to employee relations and compensation. The professors were knowledgeable and practical, making the classes interesting and engaging.
I especially liked the focus on South African labor laws and regulations. This gave me a big head start in my career, as I felt confident navigating the legal side of HR right from the beginning. The program also offered opportunities to participate in simulations and case studies, which helped me apply what I learned in real-world scenarios.
While I graduated over a decade ago, the core HR principles I learned at North-West University have definitely stayed with me. The program prepared me well for my HR career and gave me a strong foundation to build on.
