This year, MUT will confer qualifications on 3,061 graduates during a tightly scheduled three-day graduation programme, which requires precise coordination and disciplined execution. The 2026 graduation will take place at MUT’s Seme Hall from 21-23 April.
On 21 April, the Faculty of Engineering will graduate 523 students from 9h00 to 12h00, followed by a second session in the afternoon, during which 580 graduates will be conferred between 13h30 and 16h00. On 22 April, the Faculty of Management Sciences will take centre stage, with 525 graduates in the morning session and 434 graduates in the evening ceremony.
The final day, 23 April, will begin with 580 graduates from Management Sciences in the morning session, followed by 481 graduates from the Faculty of Applied and Health Sciences in the evening.
The Deputy Vice-Chancellor: Teaching and Learning, Professor Marcus Ramogale emphasised the importance of meticulous planning and cross-functional coordination, noting the intensity of the schedule and the need for operational precision. “It is a very tight schedule, hence it was vital for us to all meet to ensure that we are all able to execute our duties efficiently. We must ensure the graduation programme flows professionally and that the next graduation is not compromised because of logistical delays,” said Professor Ramogale.
The planning session also reinforced the importance of governance protocols, with Professor Ramogale underscoring the need to verify certain decisions and adjustments with the Interim Vice-Chancellor and Principal, Professor Rushiella Songca. This approach reflects the University’s commitment to institutional accountability and aligns with recent senior management development initiatives that emphasise leadership responsibility in setting the organisational tone.
As MUT prepares to host thousands of graduates and their families, the University has reaffirmed its readiness to deliver a dignified, well-coordinated, and professionally executed graduation season. The emphasis on collaboration, risk management, and leadership alignment signals a strengthened institutional culture, one focused on efficiency, mutual respect, and excellence in practice.
