WORKING WITH INDUSTRY AND SIGNIFICANT CHANGES THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE
Scoping of the Richards Bay area provides a picture of broad industry needs that are technical. The presence of a huge number of exporting and importing industries means that the welfare of the region is connected to international and national market movements. The PQM of the University is evolving in response to several factors: its national
classification as a comprehensive University requires the development of new university of technology (UoT) type of programmes (such as Maritime Studies and Engineering) in response to technical and vocational industry needs, as well as general requirements of professions and other workplace demands in areas where the University is training and graduating students. A community engagement strategy and policies on continuing education, combined with institutional steering committees and the Intermediary Platform, facilitate the processes of engaging industries to influence teaching and learning in diverse areas, including curriculum, teaching methods, workplace learning models, entrepreneurship and graduate attributes. UNIZULU continues to integrate into wider academic, industrial, governmental, scientific and societal collaborative linkages across the local, regional, national, continental and global networks.
