TUT was established in 2004, merging the former Technikon Northern Gauteng, Technikon North-West
and Technikon Pretoria. At the time of the merger, the uniquely South African institutional designation of “technikon” was dropped in favour for the internationally accepted “university of technology” designation. TUT annually enrols approximately 60 000 students.
