MUT Application Tips
- Most accessible engineering entry in KZN: MUT Engineering Diplomas require only APS 18 with Maths Level 3 – far lower than UKZN (APS 34) or DUT (APS 22).
- Strong pathway for students from Umlazi and surrounds: MUT is ideal if you live in the greater Durban South area and want to minimise transport costs.
- NSFAS covers most MUT students: Check your NSFAS eligibility – if your household income is under R350,000, you likely qualify for full funding.
- Apply early for residences: MUT has limited on-campus accommodation. Apply for residence at the same time as your CAO application.
