Accreditation

The Wits Electrical Engineering (EE) and Electrical Engineering with Information Engineering (IE) degrees enjoy accreditation and recognition both locally and internationally by the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA).

Accreditation by the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) means that our graduates are recognised as meeting the educational requirements toward becoming registered as a Professional Engineer (PrEng). This accreditation is a stringent process that requires a full audit of our undergraduate programmes every five years. This ensures the high quality of our degrees and is typically reflected in industries preference to employ graduates of professional degrees over others. 

In addition, the accreditation of the programme by ECSA provides recognition for our graduates from 1999 onwards in countries that have signed the Washington Accord. These include Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, China, Ireland, New Zealand, United Kingdom and the United States of America.
