POSTGRADUATE MERIT AWARDS 2025
For those of you who are completing the 3rd year of a 3 yr degree, or a 4th year of a 4yr degree, completing Honours or Masters, and obtain a distinction in your grades or “degree obtained with distinction”, we will consider a merit award to reduce a percentage of the tuition fees for 2025.
The award only applies for full-time (in attendance) Honours, Master or PhD study. Please note that the reduction of the fees will be for 2025 only, a once-off award (for the degree) and not renewable for subsequent years for that new degree.
There are some rules governing this process, so it's not an automatic PC fully driven process - we will begin processing the awards after the results are officially released in December. No actual award letters will be posted due to volumes. Payment will be credited to your fee account after registration in the new year, around the end of March/April once we have completed the process which entails checking that you have registered for the course that the award was intended.
Other points to note are:
- a) where the 3-year degree is completed over 4 years for example (if not a Foundation degree start), then no award will be made.
- b) where the majors are completed over two different years (split majors), generally the awards are not actioned in such cases.
- c) if you obtain a double 1st, either subject at Honours will be funded, but where one major is obtained as a first and the other is not, the following rule applies: the other major must be a 1st or an upper second (2A) for the award to be applicable to both majors. A lower 2nd (2B) or a 3rd (III), means the award applies only to the subject involving the 1st class pass.
- d) Please note: No awards are made for graduates entering a Diploma course, the Honours degree Scholarship is just that: an award to read for an Honours degree, not anything else. The exception to the rule is HDAC, as this is effectively the Honours course with an extra module. Please note too that these awards apply to LLB. Those entering LLM from an LLB with distinction, then the MST Degree Scholarship will be actioned.
- e) Those on the 4-year degree programmes (BFA, BJRN, BPHA etc), Dr Moodly will continue to action merit awards as normal via the Registrars Division.
- f) The award is for 2025 and is not normally deferred. The deferral to 2026 will only be considered if the gap year is based on an academic reason (or medical), something out of your control – an ie course offered alternate years, the supervisor is on sabbatical in 2025 and can’t supervise you, or the dept insists on one-year work experience etc is required. A gap year to “take a break” and travel will not see a deferral action.
Value of the merit award:
- a) From degree to Honours: 50% off the Honours fee
- b) Those entering from Honours (and 4th yr of a 4 yr degree such as BPharm4, BJrn 4, BBS 4 etc) to Masters, then 75% of the Masters fee will be reduced (based on the MA/MSc fee, not specialist fee rates
- c) Those entering from Masters to PhD with a distinction, 75% reduction in PhD fees.
Finally, there are a number of other automatic awards made for those graduating with their 1st degree, or with Honours, where the top graduates are ranked and relevant merit awards are made. These awards vary from R800 - R20 000, but all who are successful will be advised via email in the new year after registration.
DVC HONOURS SCHOLARSHIP 2025
Those who are completing their 3rd (third) year of a 3 (three) year degree and whose grades are in good standing can motivate to their Head of Departments to be considered for the DVC Honours Scholarships. The Scholarship covers full tuition fees.
The award is only applied for full time (in attendance) Honours study. Please note that the Scholarship will be for 2025 only, a once off award (for the Honours degree).
There are some rules governing this process - we will begin processing the awards after the results are officially released in December. No actual award letters will be posted due to volumes. Payment will be credited to the student fee account after registration in the new year, around the end of March/April once we have completed the process which entails checking registrations.
Other points to note are:
1) where the Bachelor’s degree is completed over 4 years for example (except those on Extended Studies programme), then no award will be made.
2) No awards are made for graduates entering a Diploma course, the Honours degree Scholarship is just that: an award to read for a Honours degree, not anything else. The exception to the rule is HDAC, as this is effectively the Accounting Honours course with an extra module. Please note too that these awards do not apply to LLB.
