University of the Witwatersrand

The University of the Witwatersrand is a multi-campus South African public research university located in central Johannesburg's northern outskirts. It is the third oldest South African university in continuous operation, having been founded in 1896 as the South African School of Mines in Kimberley.

The University of Witwatersrand is one of South Africa's largest, with nearly 28,000 students enrolled. The University of Witwatersrand played an important role in the country's societal development because it was the first to prohibit racial discrimination. Its location makes it ideal for close collaboration with other African and global universities. It is made up of five faculties. Nelson Mandela, the most popular South African of all time and former president, is a law student at the university.

Commerce, Law, and Management; Engineering and the Built Environment; Health Sciences; Humanities; and Science are the five faculties at the university. Currently, this Faculty offers undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in accounting, economics, management, and law. The faculty is based in the Commerce, Law, and Management Building on West Campus and participates in the WitsPlus program, a part-time program for students.
