Celebrating
Central University of Technology, Free State
Central University of Technology, Free State (CUT) is one of the foremost higher education institutions in the heartland of South Africa, dedicated to quality education and training in science, engineering and technology. Over the past 30 years CUT has developed into a leading institution able to take its place in the national as well as international higher education landscape. With the restructuring of the higher education landscape a few years ago, CUT embraced its new status as a university of technology and thus positioned itself to succeed as such.
As a regional university, all science, engineering and technology research programmes are directed at the development of the region and to solve the problems of the region. Units such as the Unit for Applied Food Safety and Biotechnology (UAFSB), the Centre for Environmental, Community and Industrial Development (CECID), Centre for Health Sciences (covers HIV-Aids research), Catchment Management Information Systems, the Sleep Laboratory and the Centre for Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing (CRPM) are widely recognised for the research conducted.
CUT's Hotel School is recognised nationally and internationally as one of the best Hotel Schools in the country. The employment rate of students in the School of Tourism, Hospitality and Sport is extremely high. Ninety- eight percent of the students are employed within three months, whilst half of the students achieve senior management positions within two years after graduation.
From its inception the institution has been aware of its social responsibility towards the broader community. The Science Park was established in 1999 to allow the community access to the institution's technology and applied research.
The Science Park serves as a bridge between CUT's expertise on the one hand, and the community that stands to benefit on the other. By making technology and expertise available to the entrepreneur, the development of new business in the region is encouraged and jobs are created. The university is aware of the fact that not everyone has the privilege to study at the main campus on a full-time basis. Therefore, selected learning pro-grammes are offered at CUT'sWelkom Campus, as well as at the regional learning centre in Kimberley in conjunction with the National Institute of Higher Education.
This year, the institution is celebrating its 30th year of technological innovation - soaring to 2020 and our new Vision. This milestone is a reflection of the university’s pursuit of quality education and academic excellence. In our efforts to educate, teach and train our students with the aid of world class technology, we will also focus on those values we hold dear, namely customer service, excellence, innovation, integrity and diversity.
Central University of Technology, Free State (CUT) is always one step ahead, and we are always thinking beyond
Research beyond today's boundaries Education beyond today's paradigms
Science, engineering and technology beyond our peers
Technology based community projects beyond the norm
Industry partnerships that go beyond the conventional
Graduates that perform beyond expectation
