MUT admissions office contact details

Call the MUT Admissions Call Centre on 031 819 9299. Prospective students can also email studentrecruitment@mut.ac.za or WhatsApp 068 159 3238, and schools can contact the Schools Liaison Office on 031 907 7296. All first-year applications go through the Central Applications Office (CAO) at www.cao.ac.za or 086 086 0226. Applications open in January and close on 30 September, with late applications until 30 November (the late fee is set by the CAO). Engineering and Analytical Chemistry second-semester applications close on 31 May.

You need your Grade 11 final results, Grade 12 June results or NSC/Statement of Results, and your ID; transferring students also add an academic record and a certificate of conduct. MUT says it has around 3,500 first-year places and receives over 80,000 applications, and it gives preference to applicants who make MUT their first choice.

MUT courses and diploma courses

MUT has three faculties:

• Applied and Health Sciences: Agriculture, Biomedical Sciences, Chemistry, Community Extension, Environmental Health, ICT and Nature Conservation
• Engineering: Construction Management and Quantity Surveying, Civil Engineering and Survey, Chemical, Electrical and Mechanical (031 907 7172)
• Management Sciences: Accounting and Law, Human Resource Management, Marketing, Office Technology, Public Administration and Economics (031 907 7452)

The minimum entrance requirement is an NSC with a diploma pass (or N3 with 50% in Maths and English), with 5 subjects at level 4 for diplomas or level 3 for Access courses. Faculty subject minimums are 50% or more in English, Maths and Accounting for Management Sciences; English, Maths and Physics for Engineering; and English, Maths, Physical Science, Agricultural Science and Life Sciences for Applied and Health Sciences, with a minimum of 25 points plus departmental screening. MUT does not publish a live list of courses that still have places, so ask the Admissions Call Centre on 031 819 9299.

The Diploma in Surveying is a 4-year Extended Curriculum Programme (NQF 6, 360 credits). It needs an NSC with English 4, Mathematics 4 and Physical Science 4 and a minimum of 20 points, and admission also depends on an entrance test, merit and space. MUT does not list a nursing qualification; its health-related programmes, such as Biomedical Sciences and Environmental Health, sit under Applied and Health Sciences.

MUT bridging courses (Access Programmes)

MUT’s bridging courses are called Access Programmes. For example, the Access Programme in Civil Engineering prepares learners for entry to the Diploma and needs English (3), Mathematics (3) and Physical Science (3). Enquiries go to studentrecruitment@mut.ac.za or WhatsApp 068 159 3238. Fees are set in MUT’s “Approved fees for 2026” document on its Student Fees page; no separate Access Programme fee is printed there.

Complaints

If you experience unresolved departmental issues (such as delayed statements, unrecorded fee credits, or registration blocks), follow the standard institutional escalation hierarchy:

1. Frontline Office: Contact the operational desk or departmental head (e.g., Student Accounts, Examinations, or Financial Aid). Keep full copies of all email exchanges and call log notes.
2. Faculty / Executive Management Escalation: If the issue remains unresolved after 10 working days, escalate your query to the relevant Faculty Dean or Director’s office.
3. Ombud / Regulatory Assistance: For serious systemic disputes that remain unaddressed after internal procedures are exhausted, you can lodge a formal enquiry with the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) or the Council on Higher Education (CHE).

Fraud or escalation routes
