Systemic Core Values
A primary core value of any University is academic freedom, which is enshrined in the Bill of Rights of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa. This core value must be buttressed by institutional autonomy, but within an environment where public accountability is seen as a virtue. Principles and behaviours defined in the Charter must accord with these and the institutional core values below.

Institutional Core Values

• Customer service
• Integrity
• Diversity
• Innovation
• Excellence

This year, the institution is celebrating its 30th year of technological innovation - soaring to 2020 and our new Vision. This milestone is a reflection of the university’s pursuit of quality education and academic excellence. In our efforts to educate, teach and train our students with the aid of world class technology, we will also focus on those values we hold dear, namely customer service, excellence, innovation, integrity and diversity.
