In 2022, UCT will continue with a low-density campus model which makes use of on-campus, in person and online teaching. In the Framework for Undergraduate Teaching and Learning in 2022 approved by Senate, UCT committed to bringing students back onto campus for teaching and learning within the parameters of the pandemic regulations. There is an emphasis on increasing in-person contact teaching and promoting engagement with students across multiple modes, which along with well designed student learning pathways, enhances the student experience and contributes to students’ success.
While UCT remains a contact based residential university, UCT’s Vision 2030 promotes a digitally enabled education (DEE) system that supports student success in inclusive and equitable ways. We’re striving to offer education that adapts to the changing technological world and connects to a socially aware diverse student body.
