UNILEVER MAYDON WHARF | CAREER GUIDANCE AND DEVELOPMENT DAY ๐ŸŽ“๐Ÿ”ฌ

On 26 August, the Faculty of Applied Sciences joined Unilever Maydon Wharf for a Career Guidance and Development Day aimed at supporting permanent employees and resident contractors interested in furthering their academic and professional development.

DUT brought academic guidance directly to the workplace, giving employees an opportunity to explore undergraduate and postgraduate programmes offered by the Faculty, including admission requirements, application and enrolment processes, fee structures, part-time study options and the various pathways available to working professionals.

The Faculty was represented by Faculty Office staff and academic staff from the Department of Biotechnology, who engaged with employees and provided guidance on study opportunities, application processes and Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) options.

The engagement also highlighted opportunities for employees who are considering postgraduate studies as part of their professional growth, research interests and continued academic development.

A big thank you to the Unilever Maydon Wharf team for welcoming the Faculty and to everyone who visited our stand and engaged with our team.

Educate. Innovate. Engage.

DUT is proudly represented by two researchers from the Department of Horticulture, Dr Bonga Ngcobo and Dr Sbulelo Mwelase, at the 32nd International Horticultural Congress (IHC2026), currently underway in Kyoto, Japan.

Recognised as the worldโ€™s largest international scientific gathering dedicated to horticulture, IHC2026 brings together leading researchers, academics, industry experts and professionals from across the globe to exchange knowledge, showcase research and advance the future of horticultural science.

Held under the theme โ€œThe Diversity of Horticulture,โ€ the 2026 Congress explores the breadth of contemporary horticultural science, from sustainable agricultural practices and plant production to emerging technologies in robotics, genetics and innovative production systems.

Representing the Faculty of Applied Sciences, DUT researchers are contributing to this global scientific dialogue through research focused on the valorisation of waste for sustainable soilless production and quality preservation of fresh produce.

Their participation reflects the Facultyโ€™s commitment to producing research that responds to global challenges while strengthening international collaboration and knowledge exchange.

From Durban to Kyoto, FAS continues to advance science, strengthen global connections and contribute to a more sustainable future for plant science and food security. ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒ
