Wits is a large university. Measured by international norms such as research output and peer reviews, it is a world class university. Its degrees are known in most countries and many students choose Wits because of its international reputation. Most Wits students attend for three or four years to read for a bacherlor's degree in their chosen subject. Some then stay on for second or third degrees and others return later to study for the highest level of academic achievement - a doctorate.
Commerce is one of the university's largest faculties and is no exception to the general rule.
Its academics are involved in a wide spread of research, and the achievement of its graduates in the realms of accounting, economics, business and information systems, is impressive. For example many of our large corporations are headed by graduates of Wits.
