MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN
FACULTY OF COMMERCE, LAW & MANAGEMENT (CLM)
We prepare students not just for a profession but for the daily life of active citizenship.
F
or those of you who are hungry to make your mark in the country, the continent and globally, there is no better option than Wits. If you plan to pursue a career in law, economics, commerce and business, you cannot beat the experience of studying in the country’s economic hub. It is no accident that the majority of law firms and businesses have headquarters in Johannesburg. The buzz of the city makes it a networking nucleus which connects the worlds of commerce and industry to the worlds of art, culture and sport. I firmly believe that whatever way you assess Wits, its proximity to the business and economic heartland of the country, its historic reputation of being at the forefront of social and political struggles in South Africa, or its world-class research and teaching, if you are planning a career that is engaged in the future of this country and of the African continent, Wits should be your first choice.
