Know your CPUT: Mowbray Campus
REVAMPED: One of the state-of-the-art lecture theatres at Mowbray Campus where future teachers are trained.
Wednesday, 28 January 2015
The Mowbray Campus is the hub of teaching activities at CPUT and houses the Faculty of Education and Social Sciences.
The faculty produces the largest number of teaching graduates in the Western Cape every year.
The campus is also home to the Department of Sports Management and the state-of-the-art Human Performance Laboratory. The lab is used for research purposes as well as to rehabilitate people with spinal cord injuries.
Getting to and from the campus could never have been an easier as it is situated a stone’s throw away from the railway and bus stations as well a taxi rank.

ROLEPLAY: Education students display their respective cultures during a Culture Day at the Mowbray Campus
The Mowbray campus recently benefitted from a major multi-million Rand revamp which saw the construction of new state-of-the-art lecture theatres, fully equipped laboratories as well as a research unit, which are all accessible to students with mobility disabilities.
The first floor of Viljoenhof Residence has a computer centre to support students with their learning.
Students also have access to a wide range of sport facilities and extra-curricular activities.
