For 2026 the university applied a 4% increase on 2025 module fees and a 6% increase on residence charges.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest way to estimate your tuition is to add up your modules using the official schedule:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Download MUT&#8217;s <strong>2026 Fees per Module<\/strong> list from the Student Fees page and total the fees for the modules in your programme for that year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These fees cover your academic tuition but do not include residence fees, travel, meals, textbooks or other personal costs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Residence fees are charged on top of tuition and depend on the residence you are placed in. MUT publishes approved residence rates on its website, and the residence deposits in the MIP table above give a sense of the upfront amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find the official 2027 tuition schedule for your specific courses, check the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mut.ac.za\/student-fees\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MUT student fees portal<\/a> and download the current fee booklet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Pay Your MUT Fees (Bank Details)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>MUT accepts fee payments through secure electronic methods.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All payments must include your student number as the reference to ensure correct allocation to your student account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Official MUT Bank Details for Fee Payments:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Bank<\/strong>: ABSA Bank<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Account Name<\/strong>: Mangosuthu University of Technology<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Account Number:<\/strong> 4063827633<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Branch Code<\/strong>: 634926<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reference<\/strong>: Your student registration number or passport number (international students)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can pay by EFT, direct bank deposit, debit order or debit\/credit card (MUT does not accept American Express or Diners Club cards, or cheques).
