The Open Day for the Potchefstroom Campus of North-West University will take place on Saturday 7 May 2016 from 07:45. The School of Music will also be putting their best foot forward and will gladly welcome prospective music students on that day to speak with them about music study at the NWU.

ON MAIN CAMPUS
The School of Music will be present on the main campus between the Joon van Rooy (F1) and Frans du Toit (E9) buildings, next to the flag posts. Staff members will be available to provide information and answer questions about the different study programmes and activities at the School of Music. Several ensembles of the School of Music, including the wind ensemble, marimba ensemble and a number of jazz ensembles, will also perform during the morning.
