Wits was the first South African university to have a nuclear accelerator, to test radar, to have a computer, to study building materials, to produce a systematic climatological atlas of southern Africa, to achieve a successful graft of plastic cornea, and the first African university to have access to a quantum computer. These are just some of our 'firsts'.
A cross-faculty, cross-discipline centre to promote postgraduate students focused on enhancing the postgraduate experience and promoting postgraduate research.
For 100 years, Wits has nurtured innovators, discoverers, problem-solvers, activists, artists, critical thinkers, and thought leaders - all who punch above their weight.

We are committed to using our knowledge for the advancement of our community, city, country, continent, and the globe.
Wits is pursuing eight priority areas that will have a major impact on our society. For Good.
