(PMA) is to assist graduates to complete Honours, Master's or PhD degrees by research or by a combination of coursework and research on both a
full-time and part-time basis. Tuition fees to a maximum of R53 800 (for 2020-the
value will be different for the current year) will be awarded to students who
qualify. This award is based purely on
academic merit and the budget available. Please note that the PMA does not pay for
international registration fees, copyright fees, notes, clubs and parking. Academic Criteria: PhD: A student applying for a Master’s degree will receive a Merit Postgraduate Award if
he/she receive an average mark of 75% or above for
his/her Honours’ degree. For
a PhD degree, an applicant will receive a Postgraduate Merit Award if he/she submit his/her Master’s degree
within two years full-time or three years part-time. MSc: An applicant for a Master’s degree by coursework will receive a Postgraduate
Merit Award if he/she receive an average mark of 75%
or above for their Honours degree or Postgraduate
Diploma. For a student applying for a Master's by
Dissertation, an average mark of 75% is required in the Honours
degree or Postgraduate Diploma. Allocations will occur in January as students
will be ranked and awards will be given to the
highest marks until the funds run out. Mode of Application: Only students who have a firm offer for admission will be
considered in the selection process. All awards are automated based on the
PMA criteria. This means that students do not need to apply for the award.
There will be no appeals for the awards, as they will be strictly based on
the criteria. The automated system will run for all four intakes for PG
admission: 1st -
January 2nd -
April 3rd - July 4th –
September For further information,
