List of Central University of Technology CUT Courses Offered



Central University of Technology CUT Courses Offered

The Central University of Technology, Free State (CUT) is the foremost higher education institution in the heartland of South Africa, dedicated to quality education and training in science, engineering and technology. CUT has developed into a leading institution able to take its place on the national, as well as international, higher education landscape.

CUT offers a wide range of qualifications in its four faculties, namely Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology, Faculty of Health and Environmental Sciences, Faculty of Management Sciences, and Faculty of Humanities.

The university is aware of the fact that not everyone has the privilege to study at the main campus on a full-time basis. Therefore, selected learning programmes are offered at CUT’s Welkom Campus. An exciting development was CUT’s incorporation of Welkom Campus of the former Vista University on 2 January 2004. Through the utilisation of modern technology, some learning programmes can also be pursued electronically via the internet. In this way, CUT is living up to its status and reputation as a university of technology.



In our efforts to educate, teach and train our students with the aid of world-class technology, CUT will also focus on those values it holds dearly; namely customer service, excellence, innovation, integrity and diversity
