CUT Online Application

Online Application (We encourage you to apply online: the system will open on 13 May 2024)

Admission Requirements

  • A candidate for a university of technology degree, diploma or certificate must be in possession of at least the NSC or equivalent qualification approved by Senate.
  • A candidate must score at least 27 or more points on the CUT scoring scale, for admission to CUT. (See the CUT scoring scale in section below for the appropriate weights according to which the above-mentioned totals are calculated.) However, admission to a particular programme is subject to the requirements of that programme (see section 4.1.5.8 below for the regulations pertaining to learning programmes).
  • Life Orientation forms part of the final score, with a maximum value of one.
  • A candidate is expected to possess a minimum level of proficiency in English, since this is the language of learning and teaching (LoLT) at CUT. A mark of 50% for English as Home Language (vernacular) or First Additional Language is therefore considered to be sufficient, although any proof of proficiency in the English language will also be taken into consideration.
  • If a candidate meets the minimum subject requirements for the certificate, diploma or degree, but scores fewer than the minimum points on the CUT scoring scale for the NSC examination, CUT will consider the following aspects:
  • There must be a place available for the candidate in the particular learning programme.
  • There must be a place available for the candidate in the particular learning programme.
  • If an applicant fails to qualify for admission to CUT in terms of these regulations, he/she may be subject to the testing of potential, refer to CUT calendar for more information.

Regulations pertaining to the testing of potential

The candidate must meet the necessary subject requirements for the learning programme in question.

The following measuring instruments are used to test the potential of a candidate:

  • RPL, with admission to be approved before a candidate may register;
  • Assessment of the prior experience of mature learners;
  • GSAT and English Proficiency Test results;
  • NSC results; and
  • Any other measuring instrument as determined by the Senate or Council.

The results of the above-mentioned measuring instruments are used in accordance with the following guidelines:

  • The results are arranged in sequence of achievement.
  • The best candidates are accepted in accordance with the need and vacancies in the specific learning programme.
  • A candidate who is not selected may be reconsidered at a subsequent selection opportunity, where the same procedures as those described above will be followed.
  • The candidate must deliver proof that he/she is able to express himself/herself well in English, both verbally and in writing, so that he/she can benefit fully from the learning programme of his/her choice. Some departments, however, set higher requirements with regard to language proficiency. A candidate will be offered a place in a postgraduate programme on condition that he/she possesses a minimum level of proficiency in English.

A candidate for a university of technology degree, diploma or certificate must be in possession of at least a Grade 12 Certificate or equivalent qualification approved by Senate.

A candidate for a CUT degree, excluding the Baccalaureus Technologiae degree and higher qualifications, must be in possession of a Matriculation Exemption Certificate or Conditional Exemption Certificate.

Prospective/aspirant students already in possession of a Grade 12 Certificate or equivalent may apply for admission to a degree, diploma or certificate. In this case, the application is assessed using the assessment criteria published on the applicant’s Grade 12 Certificate or equivalent results.

In the cases specified, the general minimum score qualifying the candidate for acceptance as a student is as published for that year. The admission criteria applicable to each programme of study are as specified in the CUT Calendar.

Only a person holding a Grade 12 Certificate or equivalent may be admitted as a student for a post-secondary qualification. However, CUT may exempt a person from this criterion on the basis of the outcome of an individual recognition of prior learning (RPL) assessment. Applications for such an RPL assessment may be submitted to the Assessment and Graduation Unit.


If a candidate meets the minimum subject requirements for a degree, diploma or certificate, but scores fewer than the minimum points on the CUT scoring scale for the July Grade 12 examination or a subsequent examination, CUT will consider the following aspects:

  • There must be a place available for the candidate in the particular learning programme.
  • The candidate may be subject to selection in the case of a learning programme where this is a requirement (see the chapter pertaining to the relevant faculty in the CUT Calendar).

If an applicant fails to qualify for admission to CUT in terms of these regulations, he/she may be subject to the testing of potential in terms of section above.

Candidates must meet the necessary subject requirements for the various learning programmes.

The following measuring instruments are used to test potential:

  • Assessment of prior experience of mature learners.
  • Results achieved in the General Scholastic Aptitude Test (GSAT), which determines the potential of a candidate, as well as the English Proficiency Test, which measures a candidate’s understanding of and proficiency in English.
  • Grade 12 results.
  • Any other measuring instrument as determined by Senate or Council.

The results of the above-mentioned measuring instruments are used in accordance with the following guidelines:

  • The results are arranged in sequence of achievement.
  • The best candidates are accepted in accordance with the needs and vacancies in the specific learning programme.
  • A candidate who is not selected may be reconsidered at a subsequent selection opportunity, where the same procedures as those described above will be followed.
  • The candidate must deliver proof that he/she is able to express himself/herself in English, both verbally and in writing, so that he/she can benefit fully from the learning programme of his/her choice, provided that some departments set higher requirements with regard to language proficiency. A candidate will be offered a place in a postgraduate programme on condition that he/she possesses a minimum level of proficiency in English.
