"My experience at the University of Pretoria has been a challenging, yet an ultimately rewarding experience. I had always been interested in technological innovations in the world of electronics and information technology and together with a keen interest in maths and science decided to study Computer Engineering. I would recommend studying Electronic or Computer Engineering at the University because of its very complete, up-to-date curriculum, equipping you with the skill set to solve complex problems across a multitude of engineering related facets. Together with the degree of professionalism of the staff, the skills shortage in South Africa and its accreditation with the Washington Accord, job security is guaranteed. Invest in yourself, invest in your future!"

"My name is Elwee Venter and I am a final year computer engineering student at the University of Pretoria. I came to study engineering at this university because I was encouraged to do so by a whole number of previous students and friends and because it was said that it was the best University in South Africa for this specific study programme. My experience at the University over the past few years has been nothing short of incredible- the atmosphere is inviting and the classes are
top notch. I would definitely recommend Tukkies for an alma mater if engineering is your future career of choice!"
