University Of The Witwatersrand (Wits) - Johannesburg

The University of the Witwatersrand (Wits), located in Johannesburg, South Africa, is one of the country’s top research universities, renowned for its academic excellence and influence in shaping South Africa's history. Established in 1922, Wits originated from the South African School of Mines, founded in 1896 in Kimberley. The institution relocated to Johannesburg in 1904, eventually evolving into the University of the Witwatersrand. It is named after the Witwatersrand, the ridge where Johannesburg was built, and is historically linked to the city’s mining industry.

Wits played a crucial role in South Africa’s fight against apartheid, with many of its students and staff participating in the anti-apartheid movement. Today, it is known for its academic rigor, cutting-edge research, and contribution to various fields, including health sciences, law, engineering, social sciences, and the arts. The university has five campuses and offers a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs across numerous faculties.
