Chinhoyi University of Technology also known as CUT was established by an Act by the Parliament of Zimbabwe on 10 December 2001.

It is located in the town of Chinhoyi in Mashonaland West about 120 km from Harare towards Lake Kariba and the Zambian border.

Accommodation is offered on the CUT campus but due to an increase in enrollment, it is limited to mostly freshman and final year students.

Cold stream is closer to campus but is a lot more crowded and unsafe relative to the farther, more relaxed Mzari.

The school has a range of well maintained sporting facilities among them soccer fields, basketball, volleyball and tennis courts, a swimming pool and a gym hall for miscellaneous activities.
