Applicants who apply before the closing of applications and who meet the minimum criteria will be invited to
submit a portfolio for evaluation, to attend a practical selection process, and to complete a questionnaire. The
portfolio will contribute 35%, an interview based upon a questionnaire answered by the candidate, 30%, and the
completion of the basic skills demonstration, 35% to the selection score.

Aspects taken into consideration are: the applicant’s potential to complete the programme successfully; creativity;
two-dimensional and three-dimensional skills; ability to demonstrate basic skill sets in working with
materials; design ability; drawing skills; sense of colour and general potential and craftsmanship.

Acceptance is subject to available capacity according to the Student Enrolment Plan (SEP) and preference
would be given to first-time entering students. Once a programme is full, a waiting list will be created to provide
an opportunity for applicants to fill the places of those who did not register on time. Applicants will be
informed of their status per an official letter from the Office of the Registrar. Alternatively, they can check
their application status on the TUT website, www.tut.ac.za
