inextricably linked with mining,
academic excellence, quality
research and political, social and civic
activism - associations built on strong
foundations, which still hold today. The
origins of Wits lie in the South African

in Kimberley in 1896 and transferred
to Johannesburg. Full university status
was granted in 1922, incorporating
the College as the University of the
Witwatersrand.

 WITS RESEARCH AND
Digital Transformation
Wits University continues to generate high-quality,
locally-relevant knowledge that matches and exceeds
global standards in research fields like Covid-19, HIV,
genetics, quantum computing, energy, migration,
diversity and inequality. Wits has long been recognised
as a global leader in HIV research and has contributed
a vast amount of knowledge in the fight against the
Covid-19 pandemic, amongst other research highlights.
COVID-19 VACCINE TRIALS
Wits scientists, researchers and clinicians are at the
forefront of fighting COVID-19 in SA. Wits led SA
and Africa’s first Covid-19 vaccine trials - the Oxford/
AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine trial and the Novavax
Covid-19 vaccine trial.
NEW INJECTION TO PREVENT HIV
An HIV study showed that a newly discovered injection
was more effective than the current daily HIV pill to
prevent HIV in women. Wits University’s Early unblinding
of the long-acting cabotegravir (CAB LA) is a milestone
for prevention of HIV among women in sub Saharan
Africa.
REPURPOSING DRUGS TO TREAT DANGEROUS
DISEASES
Drug repurposing (or repositioning) is a cost-efficient
approach that eliminates the lengthy timeframes of
conventional drug development, thus giving patients
treatment sooner. New uses are identified for a drug
outside of its original scope of indication, resulting
in more effective treatment. The head of the Wits
Advanced Drug Delivery Platform (WADDP) research
unit notes how drug repurposing may reduce the
risks associated with the process of conventional drug
discovery and development, as existing knowledge on
candidate drugs can be further developed more quickly
and enhanced.
MOST INFLUENTIAL RESEARCH ON FRACTAL LIGHT
The Optical Society of America named Wits’ research
involving fractal light from lasers as the most influential
in optics and photonics. Climate scientists are
developing the first Earth System Model based in Africa
which will contribute to the fight against the climate
emergency.
MAJOR AFRICAN GENOME STUDY
Wits geneticists have discovered more than three million
new genetic and susceptibility variants which informs
African population history, environmental adaptation
and susceptibility to disease.
PECO GRID
PeCo grids aim to address the challenge of access
to electricity by providing smart solar solutions for
household electrification. The PeCo grid is an innovative,
robust, affordable and easy-to-use off-grid electrification
solution that can seamlessly expand as the user’s needs
grow, thus giving users the freedom to choose their own
energy solution. It is an innovative alternative to utility
grid electrification, which can reach the unreachable,
such as the sparse populations of indigent households in
the rural regions of Sub-Saharan Africa.
DRIVING DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
Wits is a leader in digital business and governance, big
data, artificial intelligence, robotics, supercomputing,
and quantum computing. WitsQ - the Wits Quantum
Initiative, an African first, seeks to advance quantum
technologies through research, innovation, business,
education, outreach and ethics. www.wits.ac.za/future
THE WITS DIGITAL DOME
This is an iconic centenary project that will support
data science exploration and discovery in radio
astronomy, fluid dynamics, the digital arts, and lightning
studies – to be held in the current Planetarium space.
The Planetarium will be modernised to a full-dome,
real-time, interactive digital system that provides
the opportunity to broaden this role to well beyond
astronomy. The Wits Digital Dome will serve as a new
hub for Researchers and Postgraduate training across
many disciplines, from the sciences through to the arts
and the many connections in between, to inspire a new
generation of scientists and explorers.
WITS SCIENTISTS HAVE DISCOVERED:
• a new species of dinosaur
• the dung beetle wind compass
• an asteroid that contributed to mass extinction
and climate change
• an ancient drop of water that rewrites the Earth’s
history.
WITS STUDENTS HAVE DEVELOPED:
• a new genetic mobile application
• an off-grid solution to electrify households in
Africa (PeCo Grid) and,
• self-sanitising surfaces to prevent infections in
hospitals.
Wits Professors developed technology using molecular
diagnostics that ensures the efficacy of the equipment
that tests for tuberculosis. The technology increases
access to TB testing, which improves the diagnosis
and treatment of TB around the world, and ultimately
inhibits further infection. They also developed the
SmartSpot technology which guarantees the quality
of the molecular diagnostic tests, and which is used in
more than 30 countries worldwide.

Johannesburg is the largest and most
populous city in South Africa. The city
is affectionately known as “Jo’burg”,
“Jozi” and “JHB” by South Africans.
Johannesburg is the provincial capital

the rest of southern Africa. Johannesburg has all the modern amenities of a large
metropolitan region (population over 7 million), including fascinating cultural attractions,
art galleries, museums, shopping, and restaurants. The city’s vibrancy is a reflection of
the diversity of its people and its often turbulent history. There are a number of tourist
attractions in Johannesburg, which include a number of diverse museums, outdoor
spaces and nature reserves, sport and extreme sports, markets and shopping centres, etc.

3.2 BRAAMFONTEIN

‘The spring by the brambles’, was transformed from a rundown business district to a
revamped Soho style neighborhood with chic hotels, art galleries, trendy bars clubs
and restaurants. Likewise, Braamfontein attractions range from cultural stalwarts like the
Johannesburg Theatre, to the revolutionary Origins Centre that re-examines humankind’s
past through the medium of rock art.

Braamfontein must-sees include

the striking Nelson Mandela Bridge,
the Constitution Hill complex,
the Johannesburg Planetarium,
and a whole new generation of
contemporary creative spaces, that
house avant-garde interior design,
art, fashion, and film studios.

[11] CREDIT CONVERSION
GUIDELINES
BASED ON THE WITS SYSTEM

T
he University of the Witwatersrand,
is unable to provide a direct
conversion of the Wits credit system
into either the European Credit Transfer
System (ECTS) or the Grade Point
Average (GPA). This document merely
serves as a guideline.
WITS CREDIT–RATING SYSTEM
The South African National credit rating
system rates 10 notational study hours
as equivalent to one credit (= 1 NQF
credit). Credits represent a measure of
all the learning activities engaged in by
the student and include, among other,
contact time, self-study, Work Integrated
Learning (WIL) assignments, projects and
examinations. The University operates on
a semester basis. Grades are awarded
at the end of the semester; the semesters
are usually from February to June and
July to December.1
Certificate, Diploma, Bachelor’s degree
and Bachelor of Honours degree
qualification types assume a 30-week
full time academic year1. Master’s
degree and Doctoral qualification types
assume a 45-week full time academic
year. An average full time equivalent
student is expected to study for a 40-
hour week, thus requiring a minimum
credit load of 120 credits per academic
year for Certificates, Diplomas, and
Bachelor’s degrees and 180 credits per
academic year for Master’s degrees
and Doctorates.
On average, there are four 45 minutes
lectures per week, per course.
Attendance of tutorials and practicals is
usually compulsory. Wits Handbooks and
Rules & Syllabuses show the credit value
of courses.
