At Wits University, our vision extends beyond borders. The Internationalisation and Strategic Partnerships Office drives global engagement by fostering meaningful collaborations with leading universities, research institutions, industry partners, and international organisations. We champion academic and cultural exchange, enabling students, staff, and researchers to connect, share knowledge, and address global challenges together. Through strategic partnerships, mobility programmes, and collaborative initiatives, we position Wits as a globally competitive, socially responsive, and academically excellent institution.
