Postgraduate bursaries

If you have what it takes to become part of this exciting team, the Sasol Bursary Scheme is ready to change your life! Sasol Postgraduate Bursaries are awarded for full-time University study in Science and Engineering, at Masters or Ph.D Degree level. (Students interested in Honours Degree and 4th year studies should apply on the Undergraduate webpage). Please note that Commerce postgraduate bursaries are not supported at this stage.

If you want to apply for a postgraduate bursary, please read through the recommended research fields contained in this document prior to submitting an application.

It is advisable to read through the entire document as many research fields are multidisciplinary and may be attractive to either Science or Engineering students. Students and their prospective supervisors are encouraged to contact the Sasol personnel listed in the document to discuss their interests and gain further insights into the type of research, future direction and opportunities within such technologies. Students should formulate a research project proposal and include a summary of their proposed project on their application. Projects which incorporate a multidisciplinary approach are encouraged. Study at all South African institutions will be considered, taking into account the expertise base of a given department in that area of research.

Incomplete applications, late applications, email applications and applications submitted by any manner other than the official Sasol website will not be considered. Applicants should be residents of South Africa.

We have completed our Post Graduate recruitment cycle for 2011. To ensure a fair process no late applications for 2011 will be considered.

Applications for our 2012 Post Graduate bursaries will open in January 2011.
