Loads of students worry that if they’re not maths whizzes, their options are limited. But here’s the good news: Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) has plenty of diploma courses that don’t need maths at all. Seriously—no algebra, no calculus, no sweating over numbers.
Let’s break it down together. I’ve helped friends and family find the right courses at TUT, and I promise: there’s a path for everyone, even if maths isn’t your thing.
TUT Diploma Courses Without Maths Requirements
Let’s get straight to what you came for. You want to know: “Can I study at TUT without maths?” Yep, you totally can. TUT offers a bunch of diploma courses that don’t ask for maths as a requirement. Some may accept Mathematical Literacy, which is way more practical and less scary than pure maths.
Here’s a quick list of popular TUT diplomas that don’t need maths:
- Diploma in Commercial Photography
- Diploma in Fashion Design and Technology
- Diploma in Fine and Applied Arts
- Diploma in Motion Picture Production
- Diploma in Performing Arts

See? Loads of options. If you’re creative, love working with people, or want to make a difference, there’s something here for you.
What’s the Difference Between Maths and Maths Literacy?
Maths is the traditional, number-heavy subject. Maths Literacy is more about real-life maths—think budgets, measurements, and basic calculations. Many TUT courses accept Maths Literacy, and some don’t need any maths at all.
