Engineering Bursaries

Engineering is one of the best-funded fields in South Africa. Mining companies, power and water utilities, engineering consultancies and government departments all compete for future engineers, and many of them pay for the full cost of study.

Most engineering bursaries ask for strong Matric results in Mathematics and Physical Science (often level 5 or 6 and above) and many include vacation work and a work-back period after you graduate. Use the filters to narrow the list by discipline, province and study level, and check each closing date carefully because the big programmes usually close between April and September.
