Durban University of Technology (DUT) is a leading University of Technology in South Africa with over 34 400 students. DUT offers excellent, high quality and market-relevant academic programmes across six faculties. Tracing its roots back to 1907, DUT is a modern, metropolitan, multi-campus University that operates on five campuses in the vibrant port city of Durban and on two campuses in the provincial capital city of Pietermaritzburg.

According to our ENVISION2030 strategy, DUT’s DNA has two strands, namely ‘people-centred and engaged’ and
‘innovative and entrepreneurial’. These are interwoven intrinsically by a number of double pairs consisting of ‘values
and principles’ that bind our double-helix together. The extrinsic expression of our DNA is via The DUT-Way; which
demonstrates our collective character and behaviour

The University’s ultimate goal is to contribute towards improving the lives and livelihoods of all its people, both
internal and external. DUT consistently strives towards excellence and greatness in teaching-learning and in
research-innovation; something that was been recognized recently when The Times Higher Education’s World
University Rankings placed DUT within the top 500 of Universities in the world and within the top 5 universities in
South Africa.
