Documents Required
Have your documents ready before you start the application. The exact documents depend on the programme, but postgraduate applicants may need:
- Certified copy of your ID or passport
- Certified copies of your previous qualifications
- Full academic record or transcript
- Curriculum Vitae (CV), where required
- Research proposal or other research documents, where required

Make sure the copies are clear and properly certified. Check the requirements for your programme before submitting your application, as some postgraduate programmes ask for additional documents.
How to Apply Online
To apply for a TUT postgraduate programme:
- Choose your postgraduate programme and check its admission requirements.
- Have your academic records, qualification certificates, and identification documents ready.
- Complete the TUT online application with your personal and academic details.
- Select the programme you want to study.
- Upload the documents requested for your application.
- Check the information before submitting it.
- Submit your application and keep your application details and copies of the documents you provided.
- Check your email and TUT’s application status system for further updates.
Some research-based postgraduate programmes can have an additional process before the online application. For example, certain departments may ask for a research proposal or require contact with a potential supervisor before the application is submitted.
Application Fee
Check the current application fee before submitting your TUT postgraduate application. The amount can change, so use the payment details provided by TUT rather than relying on an old fee shown on another website.
If you make a payment, keep the proof of payment with your application records. TUT provides separate banking details for application fees, so make sure you use the correct payment reference when paying.
Application Dates 2027
TUT postgraduate application dates are not the same for every programme. Check the closing date for the qualification you want to study before submitting your application.
For TUT’s current online postgraduate programmes, the listed application deadline is 16 January 2027, with studies starting on 1 February 2027. Other postgraduate programmes may have different dates.
If you are applying for a Master’s or Doctoral programme, check the relevant faculty or department for its closing date. Do not rely on a general TUT deadline if your programme has a separate application period.
Postgraduate Courses and Programmes
TUT has postgraduate programmes in several study areas, including:
- Arts and Design
- Economics and Finance
- Engineering and the Built Environment
- Humanities
- Information and Communication Technology
- Management Sciences

The qualification available depends on the faculty and programme. Before applying, check the programme information to see whether it is offered at Honours, Postgraduate Diploma, Master’s or Doctoral level.
Application Status
After submitting your application, you can check its status on the TUT website. Select Check My Status and enter the details requested by the system.
Keep your application information and contact details available. TUT may also send an official letter when a decision has been made.
If your application is still being processed, check again later rather than submitting another application for the same programme.
Common Application Problems
A postgraduate application can be held up when information or documents are missing. Some common problems include:
- Missing academic records or qualification certificates
- Documents that are unclear or not properly certified
- Incorrect personal or qualification details
- An incomplete application form
Check the information you enter against your documents before submitting the application. If TUT asks for another document or clarification, provide it as soon as possible.
Application Scams to Avoid
Be careful with people or websites that claim they can secure admission to TUT for a fee. TUT says that academic and accommodation places are not for sale and warns applicants about scams through social media, fake emails, and websites.
Do not send application payments to a personal bank account or share your login details with someone claiming to be a TUT representative. Use the official TUT website and official University contact details when checking application information.
If you receive a suspicious message, verify it with TUT before making a payment or sharing your personal information. TUT lists [email protected] and 086 110 2421 for enquiries.
