The Faculty of Health and Environmental Sciences consists of two Schools, namely the School of Health Technology as well as the School of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences.

The Faculty offers tuition in Environmental Health, Agricultural Management and various health-related disciplines including Clinical Technology, Radiography, Biomedical Technology, Dental Assisting, Emergency Medical Care and Somatology, with specialist fields in most of these disciplines at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

National Diploma programmes extend over a three-year period.  After students have obtained their National Diploma qualification they may continue with a fourth year of study to obtain the B. Tech. degree. Students can then also consider enrolling for a master's degree, and thereafter a doctorate. Although they will be encouraged to register for their postgraduate studies on a full-time basis after obtaining the B. Tech., these studies can be undertaken on a part-time basis, in selected fields of study.

The Faculty offers attractive opportunities to students to become involved in research programmes at postgraduate level. The Centre for Health Sciences, the Unit for Food Safety and Technology as well as research programmes in Agriculture and Environmental Sciences conduct interesting research projects and render important services to the community. The Faculty is fully involved in community projects.
