The University’s ultimate goal is to contribute towards improving the lives and livelihoods of all its people, both internal and external. DUT strives towards excellence in teaching, learning, research, and innovation, recognized recently when The Times Higher Education’s World University Rankings placed DUT within the top 500 universities worldwide and within the top 5 in South Africa. These strengths are demonstrated through impactful engagement internally and externally, serving our localities, the region, and the country at large.
