EBIT is organised into four schools: Engineering, the Built Environment, Information Technology and the Graduate School of Technology Management. Engineering is ranked in the top 1% of engineering schools in the world, based on research citations. Research in the Graduate School of Technology Management closely aligns its priorities to this evolving knowledge field. The Built Environment offers an entire spectrum of programmes, with close ties to the building industry. Information Technology is one of the forerunners in South Africa, with research programmes in computer science, informatics and information science.
