TUT as a University of technology
The strategic focus of TUT as a university of technology is on the development of the human resources of South Africa. Learning
programmes are developed, in collaboration with industry and professional bodies, around specific cutting-edge work-related
competencies and specifications. The primary focus is thus professional and career focused education. To promote readiness to
practise the career, a system of cooperative education is in place at the institution, which allows the student to be exposed to a period
of learning in the labour market. Academic offerings are also designed with the latest technological advances in mind, are studentcentred and are intent on the development of the student in totality.
At TUT, the emphasis is on:
• Cutting-edge technology
• Innovation through to commercialisation
• Problem-solving skills
• Research and innovation
• Partnerships and networks
• Technological incubators, technology stations, centres and institutes
• Community engagement
The Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) aims at being the largest residential educational institution in South Africa. It is well on its
way to becoming one of the most technologically advanced institutions in the country. This unique institution has a student body which
is one of the most demographically representative in the country in terms of both race and gender, reflecting the Rainbow Nation in
all its diversity. It has 28 rated researchers.
There is a sign of quality
As a dynamic university of technology, the Tshwane University of Technology will provide you with unlimited opportunities for professional and personal
development, while equipping you with skills and knowledge to live your life to the fullest and to create your own destiny. At TUT, we value the
diversity of views, knowledge and abilities each member of the TUT stakeholder community brings to the University’s quest for excellence in advancing
and applying knowledge. Since the University supports progressive thinking and encourages innovation, TUT’s seven faculties offer a broad spectrum
of widely recognised programmes, many of which are unique to TUT, to choose from. With such a choice, you are bound to find a career just for you!
While we excel in the cultural and sporting arena and have a vibrant student life, TUT remains an institution focused on academic excellence. We
respond to the needs and challenges of our country and continent, thus new market-related courses are developed continuously in close collaboration
with trade and industry. In this way, we can ensure that courses are affordable and that curricula have definite vocational and professional links. To
promote readiness to practise a career, a system of cooperative education is in place at the institution. This exposes students to a period of learning
in the labour market and promotes their readiness to practise their chosen careers. Academically, TUT is divided into seven faculties.

Application
How to apply
Prospective students are required to complete an Application for Admission form and submit it to the Tshwane University of Technology, Private Bag
X680, PRETORIA 0001.
A fully completed application form and certified copies of your identity document and Grade 11 results and/or highest academic results, as well as the
administration fee, must reach the institution before the specified closing dates. The application form can be downloaded from the website at www.
tut.ac.za/Students/enrol/apply/Pages/default.aspx The application can only be processed as soon as the certified documents (identity document, Grade 11/12 results and proof of payment) are
received. These documents must be posted, as only the original application forms can be processed.
Late applications will be considered only if more students can still be accommodated in the programmes/courses concerned. TUT can only
accommodate a limited number of students per programme/course. In a case where an applicant’s application is unsuccessful, due to the fact that his/her school symbols submitted with his/her application did
not meet the requirements for admission to the programme/course he/she applied for, and his/her latest symbols are an improvement on the symbols
submitted, he/she is welcome to bring the letter notifying him/her that the application was unsuccessful, as well as proof of the improved results, to
the Admissions Office for the application to be reconsidered.
Processing of applications
Please bear with the Application Department for not processing the application immediately, due to the large number of applications and considering
the closing dates. Application is received and sorted according to faculty, programme/course and date received. Applicant’s information is captured
and a reference number is created. The Grade 11 results are calculated to ensure that applicant meets TUT programme/course requirements. The
outcome of the Grade 11 results can result in the following:
• If the applicant is accepted for programme/course applied for, a letter is sent to him/her, inviting him/her for potential assessment, applicant
phones to make appointment, applicant writes an assessment, applicant is accepted or denied.
• If the applicant is denied on the Grade 11 results for that specific programme/course, the second choice is processed. Letter is sent to applicant.
Accepted applicant registers in January with Grade 12 results (must be equal to or better than Grade 11 results).
Please note, however, that improved results do not automatically guarantee an applicant a place in the programme/course of his/her choice. Should
an applicant qualify for admission, acceptance would still depend on the availability of space in that programme/course. Phone the Application
Department at 012 382 5780/5994/5855 after July to find out whether the applicant has been accepted.
The administration fee may be deposited at:
ABSA Bank, account number 040000003. Please write the applicant’s identity number in the reference column. Send the deposit slip with the application form.

Application procedure
Prospective students must indicate on their Application for Admission Form whether they want to be considered for financial assistance. Financial
assistance is generally awarded to South African citizens whose eligibility is tested by accessing their academic performance and financial
neediness. Closing date for applying for financial assistance is 31 January.
Bursaries and scholarships
Private and government funding
These awards are non-repayable and could cover a portion or all study costs. Various types of private or government funding are allocated to
deserving students through interaction with the specific donor.
University merit bursaries
Merit bursaries are allocated to a range of students from first-time entering students to postgraduate students. Its intention is to attract and retain
quality students through the rewarding of prior or current performance excellence of an academic and a non-academic nature.
Academic merit bursaries for new entrant first-year students
These bursaries are made available to newcomer students who enroll for a National Diploma or B Tech at the University for the first time after
Grade 12. Only South African citizens may apply for these bursaries. Students who enroll for special courses, short learning programmes and
foundation programmes do not qualify for these bursaries. A student only qualifies for the bursary if he/she registers for all the modules of a
specific course. Students who have studied at other universities and students who have already studied at the TUT and who are undergraduate
students again do not qualify for these bursaries. Eligibility is determined by the average percentage of the rating score obtained on the Grade 12
certificate. Only the six (6) subjects with the highest rating will be taken into consideration.
