Tshwane University of Technology TUT History
Tshwane University of Technology TUT History – See Details Below:
Our University was formed in 2004 following the merger of three technikons. Our merger aimed at redressing
the inequalities of the past by providing access to all our communities and an academic home for all our students.
In that short time, we 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. We have been ranked by Times Higher Education (THE) in 2018 as one of the top 1000 universities globally and our 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 us as the number one University of Technology in Africa. Equally important, as a people’s university our moral purpose is to be the embodiment and custodian of our
people’s aspirations. This strategic intent is foregrounded by the outcomes of our Transformation Summit held in 2017 and subsequent Transformation Framework, which was informed by national, continental and global developmental goals. Our University provides an academic home for all our people, especially for those who are at the margins of society, rural and urban, by maximising access to higher education to address our triple challenges of poverty, inequality and unemployment. We adopt a decolonial position as our programmes aim to have a liberating effect by ensuring that our learning becomes a continuum of creation, innovation and technology transfer to serve the aspirations of our communities.
Anchored in the African philosophy of Ubuntu, we are a caring and compassionate University and a site of
ideation, intellectualism and engaged scholarship to effect social change and transformation.
The Tshwane University of Technology is one of the leading universities of its kind in Southern Africa. While the size and scope of this dynamic institution impress, the quality of its teaching, research and innovation, as well as community engagement, is what makes it really stand out.
While Technikon Pretoria was a historically advantaged institution located in the city, technikons North-West and Northern Gauteng were historically disadvantaged institutions located in the townships of Ga-Rankuwa and
Soshanguve respectively. The rationale for the merger was the proximity and overlap of academic programmes. The oldest of the three institutions was Technikon Pretoria, which was formed in 1900 as Irene Technical School, became the Pretoria Trade School in 1909, was the Pretoria Technical College from 1923 until 1979, and was then renamed Technikon Pretoria. Technikon Northern Gauteng (TNG) was established in 1970 as Technikon Northern Transvaal and became Technikon Northern Gauteng in 1980. Technikon North-West was established in 1976 as Setlogelo College and became Technikon NorthWest in 1987.
At the time of the merger, the uniquely South African institutional designation of “technikon” was discontinued in favour of the more internationally accepted “university of technology” designation. It was hoped that the merger would form a platform for more effective planning, which in turn would lead to rationalisation, economies of scale and the development of more needs-orientated programmes for the region. TUT annually enrols more than 50 000 students. Its student population is one of the most demographically representative in the country in terms of both race and gender, reflecting the Rainbow Nation in all its diversity. With almost 12 000 contact students accommodated in residences, TUT is by far the largest residential higher education institution in Southern
Africa.
TUT’s geographic footprint covers three of South Africa’s nine provinces – Gauteng, Mpumalanga and Limpopo with campuses located in Tshwane (Pretoria, Soshanguve and Ga-Rankuwa), Mbombela, eMalahleni and
Polokwane. Large numbers of students are also drawn from other provinces, as well as neighbouring countries such as Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Swaziland.
The newly merged institution chose a single-site faculty model to signal the creation of a unitary institution and to ensure that staff work together rather than hold allegiances to their erstwhile institutions. This model consolidated the offering of programmes in a particular faculty on one learning site rather than duplicating offerings on all three sites. TUT’s seven faculties are thus spread as follows across the campuses:
• Faculty of Economics and Finance – Ga-Rankuwa Campus
• Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment – Pretoria
Campus, Pretoria West
• Faculty of Humanities – Soshanguve Campus
• Faculty of Information and Communication Technology –
Soshanguve Campus
• Faculty of Management Sciences – Pretoria Campus, Pretoria West
• Faculty of Science – Arcadia Campus, Pretoria CBD
• Faculty of the Arts – Arts Campus, Pretoria CBD
