Combine study with your working life at Wits. By combining our most sought after courses in the faculties of Arts and Commerce, we offer you the opportunity to study for a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Commerce degree in a part-time, after-hours programme, starting in February.


The programmes are career-directed and flexible. The same Wits standards and challenges as the full-time programme will earn you a leading degree, sought after by top private and public sector employers.

WITS PLUS offers:

  • Top lecturers who understand the needs of the adult and mature learner

  • One-stop service centre

  • Flexible, multiple teaching methods

  • The best combination of distance and campus education

  • Small classes with peer interaction

  • Evening and Saturday morning lectures

  • All lectures and material in English

  • Maturity and work experience recognised

  • The Wits Plus target market is the mature adult learner usually in full-time employment, aged 23 or over. As there is pressure on places in both the B A and B Com degrees, entry will be restricted to this category of applicant in the part-time programme.
