About TUT
Tshwane University of Technology was formed in 2004 following the merger of three technikons. Their merger aimed at redressing the inequalities of the past by providing access to all our communities and an academic home for all their students. In that short time, they have grown into the largest contact University in South Africa, with seven faculties offering programmes in science, engineering and technology, business and management, education, humanities and the arts. TUT have been ranked by Times Higher Education (THE) in 2018 as one of the top 1000 universities globally and their programmes in engineering in the top 300. THE has also ranked us eighth in South Africa. In 2017, University Ranking by Academic Performance (URAP) ranked it as the number one University of Technology in Africa.
