Scholarship for Master of Information Technology (MIT) Carnegie/Stream B - 2014

The University of Pretoria announced the scholarship for Master of Information Technology (MIT) Carnegie/Stream B - 2014.

Selection of candidates for this fully funded academic programme will be highly competitive and will only be considered from tertiary institutions in sub-Saharan Africa, viz. university libraries and Library and Information Science schools. Only applications from Carnegie partner institutions and countries will be considered for the funded programme, viz. South Africa, Uganda, Nigeria, Tanzania and Ghana. However, anyone may apply for this course, considering that all fees should be paid for by the student him/herself or with help from his/her university 

Twenty prospective students will be selected every year for admission into the funded programme in addition to possible non-funded students. Selection is based on previous education, work experience and the strength of submitted portfolios. Applicants must meet the basic requirements for admission as stated below, but this does not guarantee admission, only admissibility. There is only one intake in January every year.
