University of Johannesburg
In May 2002 it was announced that the Rand Afrikaans University and Technikon Witwatersrand would merge as part of the restructuring of higher education in South Africa. In October, a year later, the future university had its name approved as the University of Johannesburg and within another year of extensive planning, consultation and hard work, it is on the brink of being established.

The fundamental role of any university is to promote freedom of enquiry and the search for knowledge and truth. Wits has built a reputation for itself in this role, establishing itself at the industrial and commercial heart of South Africa as a centre for education and research of the highest quality. Wits’s mission is to build on this foundation in a way that takes account of its responsibilities within South Africa today; and to maintain and enhance its position as a leading university in South Africa, in Africa, and in the world by sustaining globally competitive standards of excellence in learning, teaching and research.
