On 1 January 2015 CPUT officially turns 10 and what an awesome decade it has been.

Starting from humble beginnings in 2005 when the Cape Technikon and Peninsula Technikon merged, today CPUT is the only University of Technology in the Western Cape and  the largest university in the region.

Over the past decade we have seen thousands of students graduate, made history by launching Africa’s first nanosatellite, rolled out new and exciting qualifications, revamped our campuses and operations and filed a number of patents.

We have so much to be proud of and to mark all our wonderful achievements, CPUT will celebrate in style with birthday celebrations planned for the entire year.

We also want to world to know. From print advertisements to radio announcements, we are going all out to spread the word on our 10th birthday.

You too can do your part in spreading the word.
