Course Information and Fees
DENTAL TECHNOLOGY
BTech: (Baccalaureus Technologiae)
Students who intend to enrol for this qualification for the first time in 2024 should note that it will not be possible to continue with any Baccalaureus Technologiae after 2024as this category of qualification will be phased out.
This is of particular importance to dental technicians who wish to register in future as dental technologists, bearing in mind that only a person with a BTech degree may own and or supervise a dental technology laboratory. The latter does not apply to practitioners who had such rights obtained under older qualification. For clarity the SADTC can be contacted.
Potential students are advised to contact the Department of Dental Sciences to seek greater clarity in this regard.
The CPUT website can be visited regarding new qualifications which may not be in the university/ faculty prospectus.
