CENTRAL UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, FREE STATE
MESSAGE FROM THE VICE-CHANCELLOR AND PRINCIPAL
I believe I speak for the majority of university graduates when I say that your student years will likely be
the most memorable time of your life. Never again will you be quite so carefree, with so few concerns
besides doing well in your studies. This is also a time to enjoy the convivial social side of university
life, to be adventurous and to explore new directions – but never at the expense of your health, values
and future. Savour the moment, because life after university will involve much greater responsibilities
than simply balancing your academic, social and other pursuits.
You are privileged to be studying at a university, since a university qualification will set you apart from
so many others who long to be in your position. CUT's status as a university of technology gives you an
added advantage, since many of our programmes have incorporated work-integrated learning, which
enables students to graduate with the knowledge and practical experience that is so sought after by
prospective employers.
CUT provides students with the ideal learning environment through a cadre of academics that are
experts in their fields, the use of e-learning as an integral part of the teaching and learning process, and
state-of-the-art facilities and equipment that open up new worlds of technology. To ensure that our
academic programmes are constantly evolving for the better, we have instituted the Strategic
Transformation of Educational Programmes and Structures (STEPS) process, which has produced nine
new academic programmes thus far in critical areas like, amongst others, renewable energy, agricultural
extension, water management and community development. In pursuit of our goal to have a bigger
international footprint, we will be exposing more of our students and staff members to international
academic environments.
As prescribed by our Vision 2020, social and technological innovation is at the core of our business and
I therefore urge you to be creative in "thinking beyond" the boundaries of what you thought possible. As
the new generation of technology-savvy students, this is your time to shine and make your mark as the
world’s next great thinkers and innovators. If you think I am “crazy” for having such confidence in your
abilities, let me remind you about a certain “crazy” innovation known as Facebook! You all know it as
probably the most popular social networking service in existence today, but did you know that it was the
brainchild of university students just like you?
This is the time to shape your future…the future you deserve. So make the most of your time at CUT –
2013 is your year!
Prof. TZ Mthembu
Vice-Chancellor and Principal

HISTORICAL OVERVIEW
The Central University of Technology, Free State (CUT) is the foremost higher education institution in
the heartland of South Africa, dedicated to quality education and training in science, engineering and
technology (SET). Over the past 32 years CUT has developed into a leading institution able to take its
place in the national as well as international higher education landscape.
CUT, then still known as the Technikon Free State, opened its doors in 1981 with 285 students enrolled
in mainly secretarial, art and design programmes. In 2012 the university boasted 12 675 students who
decided to make CUT their academic partner in earning a qualification and gaining appropriate
workplace experience. With the restructuring of the higher education landscape some years ago, CUT
embraced its new status as a university of technology (UoT) and thus positioned itself to succeed as
such. On 26 March 2004 the former Technikon Free State officially exchanged its “technikon” status
for a tailor-made identity when its new name was published in the Government Gazette – a name that is
a true reflection of what the university stands for: Central University of Technology, Free State.
CUT’s history – from its humble beginnings to the proud institution it is today – is reflected in its
buildings. The unoccupied buildings of the Commercial High School in St George’s Street, leased in
1981, soon became too small and a second building in President Brand Street was occupied. In 1988 the
university purchased the former premises of the Eunice Primary School and the campus of the
Bloemfontein College of Education. Before long these were followed by the Main Building (today
known as the ZR Mahabane Building), the BHP Billiton Building, which houses a large portion of the
Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology, the Dirk Coetzee Building, which houses the
Faculty of Health and Environmental Sciences, the Prosperitas Auditorium, as well as the Boet Troskie
Hall and a modern library. The Lapeng Student Centre is a hub of student activity that not only renders a
valuable service with regard to the students’ requirements, but also ensures that they enjoy every aspect
of student life to the full. This Centre is equipped with an amphitheatre, as well as a cafeteria where
students can socialise.
However, it would be a pity if an institution’s progress could be measured only by its state-of-the-art
facilities. At CUT, progress and transformation go hand in hand. Within our new institutional culture,
CUT can also be described in terms of the needs experienced within an African context. CUT boasts a
diverse student community that is a true reflection of the demographic composition. The
implementation of an employment equity plan also guarantees that the academic and support staff are
representative in nature. In 2012 CUT employed 851 full-time members of staff, as well as 633 staff
members on a part-time basis.
CUT offers a wide range of qualifications in its four faculties, namely the Faculty of Engineering and
Information Technology, the Faculty of Health and Environmental Sciences, the Faculty of Management
Sciences, and the Faculty of Humanities. The faculties recently underwent significant restructuring,
leading to the creation of several new and exciting academic departments. More information on these
new developments will be available in due course.
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 is in effect 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.
CUT Calendar – 2013 5
The seat of the university is situated in Bloemfontein – in the heartland of South Africa – with a second
campus in Welkom. All operations of the CUT Regional Learning Centre in Kimberley have been
incorporated into the National Institute of Higher Education: Northern Cape (NIHE: NC) as from 2010,
following negotiations and the signing of a working agreement with the NIHE: NC in view of
collaborating with the Department of Higher Education and Training on its policy for higher education
provision in the Northern Cape Province. The CUT Registrar is a member of the NIHE: NC Board.
The Bloemfontein campus houses a full array of modern buildings with well-equipped laboratories and
lecturing venues. Besides extensive Library and Information Services, the Lapeng Student Centre is a
vibrant venue hosting a wide variety of student activities and services. Excellent sporting facilities on
campus cater for the needs of sport enthusiasts, who can choose from a host of formally organised sport
codes, ranging from athletics, soccer, rugby and cricket, to basketball, volleyball and netball. In 2011,
the Student Academic Support Building on the Bloemfontein campus was completed. Construction of
the Teacher Education Building, BHP Billiton Building (Faculty of Engineering and Information
Technology) and Dirk Coetzee Building (Faculty of Health and Environmental Sciences) was on track
for completion in 2012.
Since the university’s incorporation of the former Welkom campus of Vista University in 2004,
particular attention has been paid to the development of its academic infrastructure and the Programme
Qualification Mix. The campus also boasts state-of-the-art Library and Information Services and well-
equipped lecturing venues. The Student Academic Support and Teacher Education Building was
completed in 2011 and will accommodate the UoT-type programmes that are gradually being phased in
at this campus. Some sporting facilities, including a soccer field and tennis courts, have also been built.
The construction of additional lecture rooms was on track for completion in 2012.
The institution refers to its students who have completed their studies as practuandi and not graduandi,
because CUT students graduate with an academic qualification that not only testifies to a combination of
theoretical and practical knowledge, but also allows graduates to enter the job market with prior
experience in the industry – proof that they are fit for purpose. They have the foundation to be our
country’s new generation of forward thinkers. We don’t merely train students for jobs – we train
students to think; to explore beyond the boundaries of today; to innovate; to imagine possibilities; to
create; to become agents of social change. CUT metamorphoses learners into leaders; amateurs into
authorities; pupils into professionals.
This UoT helps shape the future of approximately 1 500 practuandi annually, all of whom have the
opportunity to further their studies at postgraduate level. As a UoT, CUT specialises in SET-applied
research. This university recognises the importance of partnerships with industry/business and
government to meet its research objectives and to contribute to the wellbeing of society. Research
programmes include:
New product development and design;
Automated material handling and radiofrequency identification;
Hydro-informatics;
Information and communication technology;
Applied food science and biotechnology;
Bio-environmental studies;
Health technology;
Socio-economic development studies;
Education; and
Research development.

SYMBOLISM OF THE
LOGO
Our Symbol
The Molecule:
The molecule symbolises technology, innovation, the future and beyond. It expresses the unification of
collective knowledge and celebrates diversity – reflecting the deepening of democracy for all CUT
stakeholders.
Suspended, it has the freedom to choose its own path, create new paradigms, anticipate the future, and
challenge the status quo.
As the central building block of the physical world, it expresses the energy of creation.
This energy, contained within the symbol, is the driving force that is typical of our conviction of
humanity, dedication, community, free thinking, and clarity in vision.
The Shield:
The shield is our sense of stability, credibility and sustainability – our strength as one. It is our
foundation to leap forward into the future and beyond.
The Colours:
Red is the colour of courage – the energy with which we grasp every task or challenge. It signifies our
region of origin.
Yellow gives us light to see into the future, and the joy we feel as we embrace it.
Blue brings life to all that we imagine; calm and clarity to all that we hear; vision in all that we strive to
do; and sincerity in all that we believe.
These are the ingredients driving us in THINKING BEYOND.
