Extracurricular activities

Extracurricular activities can form a vital part of your experience and create unique opportunities for friendships and learning. At MUT we aim to make your studies and social life as fulfilling and enjoyable as possible. Good physical and mental health is the result of a balanced life. We believe that students should aim for success by working hard in their studies, and taking time to make friends and develop interests outside the classroom. MUT offers a range of support services intended to give students a life-long experience.

Library Services

The Library Services provides a wide range of instructional services to assist staff and students in the use of information sources and library facilities.
MUT has two libraries – one in the main campus, and another in the Faculty of Natural Sciences campus. Our libraries provide comprehensive access to a wide range of material across our faculties and disciplines.

MUT Choir

Confirmed by NACMA as the best choir in the country in the higher education category, our choir provides our students a platform to explore their musical talent.

MUT Student Accommodation and Residence Life

It is a home—a place where you can belong!
Living in one of MUT’s residences, you and your fellow classmates will share a range of experiences and aspirations. You will live in a diverse community of students and create lasting friendships. While each residence at MUT has unique features and amenities, all provide reasonable quality accommodation, facilities and resources. Both on-campus and off-campus student residences offer similar access and control systems, have established governance, a formal management structure as well as basic and reasonable accommodation that is conducive to living and learning.

Student Health Services

The Student Health Services afford students access to a fully equipped on-campus clinic where you will be attended to by professional nurses and a part-time medical doctor from Monday to Thursday between 8am and 3pm, and between 8am and 12pm on Friday. First aid care and ambulance transportation to the nearest hospital is also provided to students after hours.
