2016 Annual Report

UT was relatively stable despite the higher education sector events of 2016, in particular, the #FeesMustFall campaigns. There was minimal loss of lecture time
and minimal damage to property in comparison to a number of universities across the country that experienced outbreaks of violence resulting in the destruction of property.

Council commends the students and Management for the manner in which they negotiated and dealt with unprecedented challenges. In 2016, DUT recorded an increase in both the number of Masters and Doctoral degrees, graduates and research publication units.

On 30 November 2016, the Annual Research and Innovation Awards Programme (ARIAP) event honoured researchers and students who contributed towards building the research and innovation profile of the University.
