NWU campus
The educational institution has a suburban campus. This means that students study close to a big city and can quickly get to it by public transport. At the same time, this location allows you to create a close-knit student community, since all events are held on campus. The university has a functioning library. In addition to educational materials in various scientific areas, it contains a collection of classical and contemporary literature. Foreigners who come to NWU through exchange programs study and live with local students. Thus, the university promotes intercultural exchange and the establishment of interethnic relations.
