===History===
'''Tshwane University of Technology (TUT)''' was formed by a merger of Technikon Pretoria, Technikon Northern Gauteng and Technikon North West:
: ''"TUT was established on 1 January 2004, with the merging of 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."''
