Wits University is one of the leading universities in Africa. In The Times’s recent Higher Education Supplement, we were placed 262nd in the world, 40 places up from last year. But by 2022 we aim to be among the world’s top 100 universities.

Our reputation is linked to academic excellence. Our determination is to integrate South Africa more powerfully into the global knowledge economy by offering world-class education to all academically talented individuals and by producing new knowledge that will result in a better quality of life for all.

In alignment with the priorities of our country we want to advance economic competitiveness and social transformation through research, teaching and learning activities to produce the high level and scarce skills needed to foster development.

We are committed to:

Maintaining the highest standards in both teaching and research;
Harnessing the talent of academically excellent individuals;
Producing new knowledge and developing intellectual capital that responds to the needs of our society;
Developing skills that are desperately needed right across Africa;
And developing more and higher quality graduates in science,
engineering, technology, accounting and commerce whilst not
neglecting the arts and humanities.

On this website, we've highlighted just a few projects supported by the recently launched Chancellor’s Annual Fund. I hope you will be inspired to join with me in investing in excellence and in creating possibilities that will ultimately benefit all South Africa’s peoples.

I sincerely hope I can count on you to show your support by donating generously to the Chancellor’s Annual Fund.

Justice Dikgang Moseneke – Chancellor, Wits University

Cheques and postal orders
Cheques and postal orders are becoming more susceptible to theft and fraud, and are no longer the safest option. If you choose to send a cheque in the mail, we urge you to use registered post as a safeguard. We also recommend that you do not send cash through the post.
