Based in the Free State, the Central University of Technology (CUT) is a forward-thinking institution committed to academic excellence, innovation, and developing well-rounded professionals. With its dynamic online programmes, CUT brings high education standards to students nationwide, no matter where they live.
CUT’s fully online offerings are designed to meet the growing need for accessible, flexible, and industry-relevant education. Students can choose from a range of qualifications that are tailored for remote learning without compromising on quality or support.

At CUT, learning goes beyond the classroom, even when the classroom is virtual. Online students have access to academic support, career services, and networking opportunities that help them grow personally and professionally. Whether upskilling, changing careers, or studying for the first time, CUT’s online programmes empower you to succeed on your terms and schedule.
