 (VUT), it originated as a College of A

the higher education sector in 2004, 
institutional restructuring reduced, 
through mergers and incorporations, 
the number of institutions of higher

 from 36 to 23. Vaal University
 of Technology was subsequently 
established under 
the Higher Education Act, No 101 of 1997.

 of Technology draws students from all 
regions of the country as well as 25 other 
countries. It is one of the largest
 universities of technology in South
 Africa, with an annual enrolment of about 
21 000 students. The University is well 
positioned to make a substantial
contribution to the development of
