Durban University of Technology

Applications for undergraduate and postgraduate study are submitted online via the university admissions portal on the DUT website. Prospective local students require a National Senior Certificate (NSC) or equivalent with admission point requirements varying by programme. Postgraduate and international applicants should consult faculty-specific entry requirements and submit certified documents and, where required, SAQA evaluations. Intake periods typically align with the South African academic calendar (main intake in February, with some mid-year intakes). Application deadlines and faculty-specific requirements are published annually on the website.

Student life at DUT includes a diverse student community, campus-based clubs and societies, sports teams, student governance structures (including the Student Representative Council), and cultural activities. The university provides a range of student support services such as academic tutoring, counselling, career guidance, disability support and residence accommodation (where available). Regular events, industry engagement activities and community outreach form part of the student experience.
