NB. Students who are already on an extended study period or already added a year to the minimum study period (i.e., 5 years for an engineering degree) as well as individuals who are planning to register for an extended degree course, must not apply. Applications must be for full time studies towards an academic degree at an accredited and approved South African University. NB. Studies at the University of South Africa (UNISA) will not be considered/allowed. No bursaries will be awarded for studies at a University of Technology, except for studies in Mine Surveying. Notes for all applicants Applicants must be South African citizens with a valid ID document/card. Shortlisted applicants must be willing and able to avail themselves for online psychometric testing as part of the selection process. These assessments will take place before the interview phase.
