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.
The Research and Innovation Office drives a number of initiatives that aim to grow future generations of scholars publishing research with impact.
The Internationalisation and Strategic Partnership Office partners with universities, research entities, government, and many others in pursuit of solutions to impact society for good.
Wits is pursuing eight priority areas that will have a major impact on our society. For Good.
