Durban: A total of 1 549 of Durban University of Technology students will graduate at the Summer Graduation Ceremony on December 1, the tertiary institution says.
The event will be hosted online via the DUT website at noon.
The DUT said its decision to host the graduation online was due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The DUT said that of the 1 549 students, 864 were men and 685 women from the Durban and Midland campus.
Most of the graduands, 734, are from the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment, and 308 are from the Faculty of Management Sciences.
