The Tshwane University of Technology(TUT) is the largest residential institution for higher education in South Africa. About 40,000 students study at the university of technology, and this number is growing rapidly. Almost 22 percent of students are accommodated in residences.
The quality of its teaching, research, and community engagement is second to none.
The university has campuses in Tshwane (Pretoria, Soshanguve, and Ga-Rankuwa), Mbombela, eMalahleni (previously Witbank), and Polokwane and students also come in large numbers from other provinces and South Africa’s neighbours, such as Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, and Swaziland.
The entrepreneurial approach offered at TUT opens up many opportunities for students to become entrepreneurs and job creators. Innovation and creative thinking fuel the drive towards the realization of this aim.
TUT sees the diversity of its staff, students, and other stakeholders as a strength that should be protected and encouraged. The university believes this approach is in the best interests of the country and the African continent.
