Cape Peninsula University Of Technology

The Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) was established on 1 January 2005 through the merger of Cape Technikon and Peninsula Technikon. This unification was part of a national process aimed at transforming South Africa’s higher education landscape. Today, CPUT is the only university of technology in the Western Cape and the largest higher education institution in the region. With over 35 000 students, five campuses, three service points, and more than 70 career-focused programmes, the university plays a pivotal role in advancing education, research and innovation. Guided by its strategic plan, Vision 2030, CPUT aims to shape its future by becoming "One Smart CPUT” – with ambitions to become the MIT of Africa. The “Oneness” focuses on our human-centricity, while the “Smartness” emphasises technological developments and innovations.
