" The course outline was great and the modules was presented by industry experts with academic and workplace experience making the teaching much more relevant. The support from other students are great meaning there is a great sense of community making the experience so much more worth it. The admin staff was always helpful and assisted you as soon as they could. "

" Wits has some flaws but overall it's a top university I feel lucky to study at Wits will push you its not like other unis in South Africa there is no summer school or winter school you get one chance make it count It's student life is abysmal if you're not in rez but you're there to get a degree from the top university in South Africa put your head down work and leave. They don't make students like they make witsies we are special and theres a lovely bond between fellow students that understand the struggles of pushing yourself "

" I had great classes and felt that the lecturers are knowledgeable. The administrators were easily approachable for me to discuss any concerns. My classes were held in the evenings off campus, so I didn't get a feel for the social scene or university life. "
