2011 Annual Report

This annual report serves to give an indicative account to our partners, including government, business and industry, of how the university has responded to its institutional mandate as bestowed upon management during the period under review.

In reflecting on whether CUT, as an institute of higher learning, is moving in the right direction towards becoming an engaged university that focuses on social and technological innovation for the socio-economic development of the central region of South Africa, the report serves to answer the following critical question: To what extent has CUT achieved its institutional objective to transform into a newgeneration university?

Although the intention of this report is not to review the year 2011, but rather to provide a strategic overview of our performance, it is important to stress that the assessment of the university’s performance and objectives takes an approach that combines key performance areas with our achievements.
