The University is committed to ongoing transformation to make it ever more responsive to the needs of Southern Africa and the continent, as a whole.

It is the Vision of the Tshwane University of Technology to be the leading higher education institution in Southern Africa with an entrepreneurial ethos that -

ABOUT US

The Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) is a proud product of South Africa's first decade of democracy. While the size and scope of this dynamic new institution impress, the quality of its teaching, research and community engagement is what makes the University really stands out.

TUT was established on 1 January 2004, with the merging of the former Technikon Northern Gauteng, Technikon North-West and Technikon Pretoria. At the time of the merger, the uniquely South African institutional designation of "technikon" was dropped in favour for the internationally accepted "university of technology" designation.
