If you missed the initial rush to apply at Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) for the 2026 academic year, don’t worry there’s still time. Many students are now asking: Which TUT courses still have space for 2026 applications? In this blog, we’ll guide you through the options that are still open, how to check availability, and what to do next.

TUT Courses That Still Have Space for 2026 Applications

TUT 2026 Applications Opening and Closing Dates

Applications for the 2026 academic year at Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) officially opened on 1 April 2025 and will close on 30 September 2025. It’s important to note that some courses may fill up before the official closing date due to high demand. To avoid missing out on your preferred course, it’s strongly recommended that you apply as early as possible.

TUT receives thousands of applications every year, and while some popular courses fill up quickly, others remain open due to:

Lower initial application volumes
Extended capacity in certain departments
Course-specific closing dates
This means you still have a chance to apply for select courses as long as you act quickly.

How to Check Which TUT Courses Are Still Open for 2026

TUT doesn’t publish a fixed list of “still open” courses online, but you can check course availability in a few simple ways:

TUT Online Application Portal
Log in or register on the TUT Online Application Portal. The portal will only allow you to select courses that are still accepting applications.
Contact TUT Admissions Directly
Call 086 110 2421 or email [email protected] to inquire about available spaces in your faculty of interest.
Follow TUT’s Social Media Channels
Updates about extended deadlines or open courses are often posted on TUT’s official Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages.

Here are Some Courses That Still have Space for 2026 Applications

While availability changes often, here are a few categories that traditionally have space later in the application cycle:

Admission Requirements for the TUT 2026 Applications

To be eligible for admission, applicants must meet the minimum requirements based on the type of qualification:

Bachelor’s Degrees: A minimum achievement level of 4 (50–59%) in at least four subjects relevant to the course.
Diplomas: A minimum level of 3 (40–49%) in at least four subjects.

Certain courses may require specific subjects or additional assessments, such as Mathematics, Life Sciences, or a portfolio of work (for design-related courses). For full details, consult the official TUT 2026 Prospectus, available on the university’s website.

What to Do If Your Preferred Course Is Full

If your first-choice course is no longer accepting applications:

Choose an alternative in the same faculty
For example, if the BCom in Accounting is full, consider a Diploma in Financial Information Systems.
Apply for a diploma or higher certificate
These often have more available space and are great stepping stones.
Consider second semester applications
Some courses re-open mid-year keep an eye out for announcements.

Don’t Wait for the Deadline

Many courses close as soon as they reach full capacity — even before the official deadline of 30 September 2025. Applying early gives you the best chance of securing a space.

Required Documents to Apply

Make sure you have the following ready:

Certified copy of your ID
Certified copy of your latest academic results or matric certificate
Proof of payment for the R240 application fee

All documents must be clear, legible, and in PDF format when uploaded online.

Conclusion

If you're serious about joining TUT in 2026, now is the time to act. While some courses are already full, many still have space available — especially in faculties like Humanities, ICT, and Management Sciences. Visit the TUT application portal, confirm availability, and submit your application as soon as possible.

Don't let this opportunity pass you by your future starts today.
