Below is a list courses that had space for academic year 2026.

🛠️ Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment

TUT’s Faculty of Engineering & the Built Environment is one of the largest in South Africa and is well-known for producing graduates who can work immediately in industry. These programmes combine theory with practical and hands-on experience, and many qualifications are accredited by professional bodies such as the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA).

Pretoria Campus

• BEngTech (Materials Engineering) (Polymer Technology) — BPPT20

  • This is a Bachelor of Engineering Technology focused on polymer (plastic and composite) materials. Students learn about the processing, development, characterisation, and quality control of polymers — skills needed in manufacturing, research, and product development.

eMalahleni Campus

• BEngTech (Electrical Engineering) — BPEE19

  • A three-year technologist degree in electrical engineering, preparing students for design, installation, maintenance, and testing of electrical systems.

• Diploma in Electrical Engineering — DPEE20

  • A diploma focused on practical electrical engineering skills. Graduates often work as technicians in industry, utilities, or manufacturing.

• Higher Certificate in Electrical Engineering — HCEE18

  • A one-year entry-level qualification that develops foundational electrical engineering knowledge and practical skills.

These qualifications are industry aligned and are a strong foundation for careers in engineering fields, including power systems, automation, electrical installation, and technical project support.

🔬 Faculty of Science (Arcadia Campus)

The Faculty of Science at TUT offers a broad range of scientific and laboratory-based programmes, combining academic depth with practical lab work.

Here are the science courses still available for 2026:

• Diploma (Food Technology) — DPFT19

  • Focuses on food science, production techniques, quality assurance, and safety — ideal for careers in food manufacturing, quality control, or regulatory compliance.

• Diploma (Analytical Chemistry) — DPAC19

  • Trains students in chemical analysis methods, instrumentation, and data interpretation used in laboratories and industrial settings.

• BSc (Industrial Chemistry) — BPIY20

  • A Bachelor of Science that covers chemical principles applied in industry — such as process chemistry, materials, and product development.

• Diploma (Somatic Therapy) — DPST19

  • Note: Somatic Therapy isn’t confirmed in the official lists I found — but is included in your query. (It typically combines physical science with health science principles in therapeutic settings.) If you want admissions details, double-check with TUT directly.

• Diploma (Industrial Physics) — DPIP26

  • Focuses on applied physics in industrial environments — this can include materials science, instrumentation, and measurement techniques relevant to engineering and research labs.

These science programmes are excellent for students looking to enter research labs, quality assurance roles, environmental testing, or industrial operations.

💻 Faculty of ICT (Soshanguve South Campus)

TUT has a dedicated Faculty of Information and Communication Technology, which is rare in South Africa. This faculty prepares students for careers in computing, software, multimedia, and information systems — fields that are highly in demand as the digital economy grows.

2026 ICT courses available:

• Diploma (Multimedia) — DPMC20

  • Combines creative design with digital technology — preparing graduates for roles in digital media, animation, interactive design, and visual communication.

• Diploma (Informatics) (Extended) — DPMCF0

  • A broad qualification that covers information systems, database management, and IT fundamentals. The “extended” version gives extra academic support for students entering with lower prior marks.

ICT graduates can find jobs as software developers, IT support specialists, digital content creators, and more — depending on specialisation and experience.

📥 How to Apply & Important Deadlines

• Applications for the 2026 academic year at TUT opened earlier in 2025 and generally close by 30 September 2025, though some programmes have earlier deadlines.
