Message from the Dean: Faculty of Engineering, Built Environment and Information Technology

Dear first-year student, you made an excellent choice! Congratulations on your choice to become part of the EBIT Generation – a focused and passionate generation made up of people who inspire othes.

The Faculty of Engineering, Built Environment and Information Technology (EBIT), is a leading presenter of locally relevant and internationally competitive programmes in engineering, the built environment, information technology, and engineering and technology management at both undergraduate and graduate levels.

with regard to individual and group work.

This Faculty attracts high-quality students and staff, and offers extended programmes to facilitate inclusiveness.

Through stakeholder involvement, the Faculty is well equipped in terms of research and teaching activities, and it houses several research centres and institutes. The close links maintained with industry support both the teaching and research programmes, and the multidisciplinary nature of the Faculty facilitates interaction across disciplines in teaching as well as research activities.

The School of Engineering at UP is the largest school of its kind in South Africa in terms of student numbers, graduates and research contributions. According to the Essential Science Indicators for citations and publications, the School of Engineering is ranked in the top 0.5% of engineering schools in the world.

Through this unique approach, there is a high demand for the Faculty’s graduates, who strive to be “Innovating our Tomorrow”!

Extensive and cutting-edge teaching, learning and laboratory facilities are integrated into the excellent campuswide suite of facilities and services offered by the University. Access to programmes is expanded through extended supporting programmes.

To shape its students as future leaders, the Faculty expects total commitment

The Faculty is organised into four Schools: the School of Engineering, the School for the Built Environment, the School of Information Technology and the Graduate School of Technology Management.

Its degree programmes and modern computer science, informatics and information science, and collaborative laboratories offer students the advantage of an integrated approach to information technology (IT), making it highly ranked globally in computer science and information systems.

Through various advisory boards, the Faculty has established strong partnerships with the industries it supports. This enables the University of Pretoria to be internationally competitive, while remaining locally relevant. Where applicable, its programmes are accredited by statutory and professional bodies at national and international levels.
