DUT Accommodation Residence

Residences

Accommodation within DUT residences is very limited and as such DUT encourages prospective students to find their own accommodation in nearby areas. For queries regarding student housing, contact: 031 373 24 94. DUT owns nine residences which are located around the Steve Biko campus and in central Durban.

The Durban University of Technology understands the value of offering living accommodations to its students, but because space is limited, it’s critical to apply early. DUT Accommodation Residence
