2011 Annual Report

The year 2011 was another year of successful education and research development at the Durban University of Technology and the seeds have been sown for the emergence of the institution as an important university of technology in the South African higher education landscape.

A five-year strategic plan, synergistic with the existing one, was submitted to the Council and approved. This strategic plan focuses on five key elements that address the fundamental challenges that face the University as it transforms from a technikon into a university of technology and as it addresses a sustained period of student upheaval by addressing itself to particular challenges of the students who choose to study there.
