The heart & pulse of an institution

In their quest of continual renewal, The Vaal University of Technology (VUT) strives to build upon its early foundation, namely, a college for advanced technical education (1966), a Technikon (1979), all of which has culminated into the University of Technology (2004), as it is today.

Positioned in the heart of Gauteng's industrial activity, the University operates from a main campus in Vanderbijlpark and a Science Park campus in Sebokeng.

Focused on teaching and learning, underpinned by technologically advanced education, graduates are well-equipped for either employment or creating their own business opportunities. This is an engaged institution linking education with industrial scholarships and ensuring its local community thrives through the process.

With nine centres of excellence and 14 NRF-rated professors, its association with academics and NRF-rated researchers means that it is not only producing world-class research, but it also empowers aspiring researchers to engage with the most experienced minds in several research fields, as supervisors and aides.

The University continuously produces graduates whose qualifications are internationally recognised, while remaining locally relevant. Its focus on academic excellence, research, and innovation has afforded it international recognition.

VUT's mission is to develop techno-entrepreneurial graduates and innovators who drive vibrant transformation, all of which is encapsulated in its 'Strategy 2033+'. This being a strategy to refocus and comply with its mandate as a University of Technology.

As a member of the Executive Management, you will provide effective and ethical leadership to the University, particularly as it pertains to the Registrar's accountabilities and responsibilities. You will contribute meaningful input to your portfolio and effectively set and implement strategy in line with making valuable contributions to the long-range vision of the University.

A master's degree (or equivalent) is sought, however, if you have a PhD this will be an added advantage, as will any postgraduate studies in corporate governance and/or law. Importantly, it's your 10 years' relevant experience at a tertiary institution (or similar environment), where 5 years reflects accountability and responsibility in a senior management role. You pride yourself on your understanding of the Higher Education policy landscape, both nationally and internationally. Your approach and understanding of issues affecting student access and success, is unquestionable, as is your ability to address manifestations of inequality and transformation as they apply to the Higher Education environment. You have an excellent grasp of corporate governance issues within academia, as you do with at least one proprietary and open-source learning management system.
