Academic merit bursaries for senior undergraduate students

The University reserves the right to amend without prior notice, the regulations and bursary values and/or conditions applicable to the awarding of bursaries.

An academic merit bursary is based on the achievement of a student in a particular course and is associated with the tuition fees that are applicable to that course. An academic merit bursary is automatically awarded on the basis of the academic achievements of a student during a previous year.

The award is made with the provision that a student achieve an average total examination mark of at least 75% at the end of a calendar year.  All modules that were taken are considered in the calculation of the average of 75%, in other words, also modules that were failed, discontinued and where there is no admission to examination.

The following formula is used to calculate the value of the bursary:

Tuition fees of each module in which a distinction is achieved x mark achieved for the specific module/100 x a calculation factor, for example Module XYZ = R300 x 75/100 x 1,0 (as an example/subject to change) = R225.
