A highly-distinguished local university, the internationally-recognised UTP currently enrols students from South Africa, Sudan, Turkmenistan, Vietnam and other countries. In addition, the faculty and student body comprises people from various nationalities, religions and cultural backgrounds. International benchmarking of the programmes and their delivery is carried out continuously through the appointment of external examiners from Australia, Canada, England, Japan, Hong Kong and Scotland. The University is also guided by an International Academic Advisory Council with representatives from North America, Europe and Asia.

UTP differs from other traditional universities particularly in its emphasis on the role of academic staff as facilitators of learning rather than lecturers. UTP applies learning modes to promote the development of competency and on-going learning abilities, complemented by the Industrial Internship programme which utilises industry facilities to provide resources and coordinated practical training.
