Student review [#71239] for Social Sciences
at North-West University - NWU

After graduating from North-West University in 2023 with a BA in Humanities that included English, I can honestly state that the experience was eye-opening! If you have a passion for literature but would also like to study other humanities fields, this program is ideal for you.

The classes were diverse, ranging from in-depth analysis of English literature to courses on history, philosophy, and even art history. It gave me a well-rounded understanding of human culture and expression. The English courses were especially strong, with professors who were passionate about the written word. They helped me develop critical thinking skills and a deeper appreciation for different writing styles.

What I liked most was the focus on both classic and contemporary works. We studied Shakespeare and Jane Austen, but also explored modern African literature and current social issues. This kept the learning interesting and relevant to the world today.

While the program had a strong focus on literature, the flexibility to explore other Humanities subjects allowed me to tailor my studies to my interests. I even took a course on ancient mythology, which ended up being one of my favorites!

If you’re looking for a program that will challenge you to think critically, analyze literature, and explore the broader world of human experience, then NWU’s BA in Humanities with English is a great choice. It’s a program that prepared me well for further studies or a career path that involves strong communication and analytical skills.
