CUT is excited to unveil its newly revamped, state of the art website. With its fresh look and functionality, the new website is designed to highlight and profile the innovative work and research being conducted by the university. The website will have a number of new dynamic features including scrolling news sections, one-click access links to faculty web pages, and social media.

“We have for years meandered right and left to get our website where it should be a first-rate website that is not only the initial contact with the outside world, but also our tool for building strategic partnerships, as well as attracting talent and skills nationally and globally”, said Prof. Thandwa Mthembu, Vice-Chancellor and Principal at Central University of Technology, Free State (CUT). The new site also lays the basis for CUT as a higher education institution to provide credible information to all its partners and to instill public confidence in pursuit of its commitment to cooperative and corporate issues governing the higher education sector. “Our launch of the new CUT website represents, therefore, a major step towards doing the right thing at the right time in line with our vision of becoming a dynamic institution buttressed by what we teach here - science, engineering and technology,” said Prof. Thandwa Mthembu. “A website is not merely a signpost or an advertising billboard. It is at the heart of demonstrating who we are, our core corporate values and what we offer the world. In this case, it is about excellent education and the principal means of attracting potential clients and talent and most crucially, it is a means of making strategic connections, which is fundamental to building a strong and innovative institution”, concludes Mthembu. The website is the door to CUT’s soul and the university needed a functioning tool which demonstrates its innovation and commitment to academic excellence. The new website offers users an interactive experience and a wealth of information to help streamline the information output from the university, to recruit new students and brand CUT as a university of choice.
