At CPUT, first-years will have access to internationally recognised academic programmes, which have been specifically designed to ensure they gain relevant knowledge and training.
The university also boasts an impressive array of laboratories and lecture halls, well-stocked libraries and first-rate computer facilities. First-year students will also have access to academic support programmes as well as sporting and cultural activities.
Prof Mazwi-Tanga encouraged first-year students to work hard and make the most of their time at the university.
“Seize this opportunity,” she says.
Dean of Students, Cora Motale, who also addressed the students, used the opportunity to urge students to make use of resources on campuses, which will play a role in ensuring their academic success.
“You all have the ability to do well. Do your best.”
