• Faculty of Engineering & the Built Environment

There was a presumption during the industrial revolution, which laid the groundwork for engineering, that the world will always have enough resources to meet human needs.
However, it is now necessary for us to acquire knowledge and abilities that take into account a worldview that acknowledges the finite nature of resources and the interconnectedness of all systems.
There is a need to consider many roads and plurality, diversity, and difference rather than a straight line heading from “here” to “advance.”
The secret is in the networks and flows, the richness of diversity and plurality, and the linkages and reconnections between individuals and ideas. In light of the shifting global landscape, the Faculty of Engineering & the Built Environment (EBE) is committed to building on past accomplishments and embracing the challenges that lie ahead for both Africa and the international community.

• Humanities

The second-largest faculty at UCT is the Faculty of Humanities, which is made up of 16 active academic departments organized into three major clusters: the arts, the social sciences, and the performing and creative arts. All have an emphasis on the human condition in all of its manifestations. The faculty has a long history of conducting multidisciplinary research and teaching, as evidenced by its four DST/NRF SARChI Research Chairs, two Mellon Research Chairs, and 86 new and renewed NRF-rated researchers. Our academic programs give students the tools they need to interact with both the tangible and intangible facets of being human. We generate outstanding graduates with analytical abilities, imagination, insight, and mental agility.

• Faculty of Law

The faculty has exceptional professionals who are excellent instructors, researchers, and prominent authors in their fields, which is consistent with our belief that teaching should be research-led. The faculty received the first DST/NRF SARChI Research Chair in the Humanities; two professors are NRF- and A-rated researchers. Our faculty members have received international teaching honors, and two of our employees have received Distinguished Teachers' Awards. Not to mention, the outstanding law library has more than 85 000 books and 284 of the best journals. It is connected to major electronic databases.
