As the university continued to grow (from only 6,275 students in 1963 to 10,600 in 1975 and over 16,400 in 1985), expansion of the university campus became essential. In 1964, the medical library and administrative offices of the Faculty of Medicine moved to Esselen Street in the Hillbrow district of Johannesburg. In 1968, the Graduate School of Business opened in Parktown. A year later, the Ernest Oppenheimer dormitory and Savernake, the new residence of the Vice-Chancellor (replacing the Hofmeyr House on the main campus), were built, also in Parktown.
In the same year, the new clinical departments of the Faculty of Medicine were opened.

It is the third oldest continuously functioning South African university, after the University of Cape Town (founded in 1829),[8] and the University of Stellenbosch (founded in 1866). Eight years later, in 1904, the school was moved to Johannesburg and renamed the Transvaal Technical Institute.[9] The name of the school was changed again to Transvaal University College in 1906. In 1908, a new campus of Transvaal University College was established in Pretoria. The Johannesburg and Pretoria campuses separated on 17 May 1910 and each became a separate institution. The Johannesburg campus was re-established as the South African School of Mines and Technology, while the Pretoria campus remained Transvaal University College until 1930, when it became the University of Pretoria. In 1920, the school was renamed University College of Johannesburg.[1] [1] On February 25, 2000, the university administration began implementing a policy called “Wits 2001”, whereby work classified as “not part of the core” of the university (such as cleaning and landscaping) was outsourced to external contractors.
The university`s departments were also restructured: the university`s nine faculties were reduced to five, the university`s 99 departments were merged into 40 schools, and courses deemed redundant after a massive revision were eliminated. [19] However, Wits management has initiated programmes to mitigate some of the negative effects of Wits 2001. This included implementing early retirements and voluntary severance packages to minimize cutbacks. In addition, many of the children of the employees concerned were studying at Wits at the time and were receiving scholarships under their parents` employment contracts with Wits. The university therefore continued to offer them scholarships until they obtained the diplomas in which they were enrolled, as well as scholarships for the children of the employees concerned who enrolled in 2000. [20] [21] Research is one of the four pillars of faculty excellence and an essential component of students` graduation criteria. We conduct effective, forward-looking research that is relevant to business, society and humanity. Our vision is to be recognized as one of the 50 most research-intensive business schools in the world.

[49] It is managed by the university`s Performing Arts Administration (PAA). [49] Prior to the opening of the Wits Theatre, the Wits Schools of Dramatic Art and Music had staged productions in a campus building called the Convent, a former convent. The convent has been preserved as a place of teaching.
