As a career counsellor, Life Orientation educator, or school leader, you shape the futures of countless learners. The Central University of Technology, Free State partners with schools across the region and beyond to ensure every learner has the information they need to make confident choices.
This page brings together the admission requirements, prospectuses, and career guidance resources you need to bring CUT to your school, or your learners to our campuses.

Resources Available to You
- The Student Calendar | Prospectus with full details on all programmes offered.
Customised Campus Tours
We believe the best way to choose a university is to experience it on a real academic day. Instead of traditional weekend Open Days, we invite schools to visit CUT during the week to feel the true energy of campus life. We work directly with our faculties to design customised facility tours that match the specific academic interests and career goals of your learners.
Does CUT still host large Saturday Open Days?
To give learners a truly authentic experience, CUT has moved away from traditional weekend Open Days. A Saturday cannot capture the real energy of a university. Instead, we host learners on regular academic days so they can see our workshops, labs, and facilities in action, just as they would be as a registered CUT student.
What to Expect on a Tour
- See our high-tech laboratories, workshops, and studios in action during a normal teaching day.
- Interact with current CUT students and experience the real campus culture.
- Receive tailored presentations from faculty experts in the fields your learners are most interested in.
School Visits and Career Expos
Our liaison team visits schools and district career expos to present programme information, APS guidance, and application support. Invite CUT to your next career guidance event.
Values That Shape Us
Guiding Learners to the Right Pathway
When a learner does not meet standard diploma or degree requirements, CUT provides multiple access routes to higher education. Learners who achieve a Higher Certificate pass can complete a one-year Higher Certificate at CUT and articulate directly into a Diploma. Learners who meet minimum admission requirements but would benefit from additional academic support will be placed in our four-year Extended Curriculum Programmes (ECPs).
