and International students via the South Africa
National Research Foundation (NRF). These include the NRF and DAAD
postgraduate scholarships. Prospective students are to make theirs applications directly to the NRF. Further

(PMA) is to assist graduates to complete Honors, Masters or PhD degrees by
research or by a combination of the course work 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 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 receives an average mark of 70% or above for his/her Honors’ degree. For
a PhD degree will receive a Postgraduate Merit Award if he/she submits his/her
Masters’ degree within two years full-time or three years part-time. MSc: A Master’s degree by
coursework will receive a Postgraduate Merit Award if he/she receives an
average mark of 70% or above for their Honours
degree or Postgraduate Diploma. For a student applying for a Masters by Dissertation, an average mark of 67% 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 that 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 it 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
