The Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) publishes its 2027 General Information for First Year Enrolment, a prospectus-style brochure that covers how to apply, payment, funding, student support and every programme. It was printed in January 2026, and TUT notes that the information may change without notice. Here is what it contains and how to use it.

Deadlines differ by programme
For 2027, first-year applications opened on 1 April 2026, and each programme's deadline is listed in the brochure. TUT warns that a programme may close at any time once it is full, even if its deadline has not passed.
Basic requirements
TUT needs a National Senior Certificate with at least six subjects, including English at level 3 or higher, and Mathematics, Technical Mathematics or Mathematical Literacy as each programme requires. Bachelor's degrees need four subjects at level 4, and diplomas four at level 3. You may apply with Grade 11 or mid-year Grade 12 results for provisional admission.
Faculty brochures and the prospectus
TUT also lets you download its prospectus and faculty information from the Study at TUT section of its website, and its student fees booklet sets out payment rules.
Required documents
The brochure lists proof of payment of the application fee, a certified copy of your ID and a certified copy of your National Senior Certificate, or your final Grade 11 results if you are in Grade 12.
Campus visits
The brochure explains how Grade 11 and 12 learners can book group visits to TUT's campuses, which should be arranged a month ahead.
