We pride ourselves on a legacy of excellence.
or more than a century, our Faculty has produced some of the world’s most pioneering and innovative individuals; clinicians, researchers and healthcare workers who have gone on to shape global health policy and transform the healthcare industry. At Wits, students trained in the Faculty of Health Sciences are equipped with the relevant skills in order to be responsive to the health challenges of South Africa. Our objective is to create an enabling environment that supports students in achieving beyond their professional career goals and ignites a passion for research across all levels of the academy. As a student, you will have the opportunity to leverage from the best teachers globally, in modalities that are adopted in line with international trends. This includes hybridised teaching and learning, an offshoot of the Covid-19 pandemic that has accelerated the focus in the Faculty in terms of how we conduct research and training. Join us at the frontline as we meet the many challenges facing us as a country. Be part of a legacy that makes Wits what it is today, an internationally recognised institution of academic and research excellence.
