🇫🇷✨ Ongoing Support for Our French Exchange Students at DUT!

On 21 July 2025, the Department of Civil Engineering & Geomatics held a follow-up orientation with our French international exchange students.

HoD Mr. Bonga Khuzwayo, Senior Lecturer Mr. Goolam Hoosen, and Mr. Riaz Suleman checked in with the students to hear how their experience in Durban has been so far — from accommodation and studies to adjusting to life in South Africa. 💬📚

Discussions included:
▪️ Which modules they’re enjoying or struggling with
▪️ How they’re settling in
▪️ Their overall impressions of DUT and Durban 🌆🌍

The students expressed appreciation for the support and shared their excitement about being part of the DUT family.
