South African-founded petrochemical multinational, SASOL, is inviting applications for its 2024Bursaries from South African students in various fields of study (see below). The Sasol Bursary programme comprises a comprehensive package that covers both financial as well as developmental support throughout the study period. Bursaries are awarded for full-time university studies in engineering and science. Upon successfully completing the study period, students may be employed within the Sasol Group through our Graduate Development Programmes.
Applications may be submitted for degrees (no diplomas) in one of the following fields of study:
Undergraduate Studies (B.Eng. / B.Sc.)
- Chemical Engineering
- Chemistry (Hons. is a requirement for Sasol)
- Civil Engineering
- Data Science (Computer Science / Mathematics / Operations Research / Statistics)
- Electrical Engineering
- Electronic Engineering
- Geology (Hons. is a requirement for Sasol)
- Industrial Engineering
- Mechanical Engineering
- Metallurgy (Hons. is a requirement for Sasol)
- Mining Engineering
Undergraduate Studies (B. Eng. Tech.) – University of Technology
- Mine Surveying
- Civil Engineering
- Chemical Engineering
- Instrumentation & Control Engineering (Electrical Light Current)
- Electrical Engineering (Heavy Current)

Postgraduate (M.Sc. / M.Eng. / PhD.)
To support economic growth demands in South Africa and to satisfy our own requirements for highly skilled postgraduates in the science and engineering disciplines, Sasol awards postgraduate bursaries for M.Sc., M.Eng. and PhD. studies in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. These awards will be made for postgraduate research supporting Sasol and South Africa’s energy and circular economy transition, through application in the following core disciplines:
- Chemical Engineering – Fluid Dynamics
- Chemical Engineering – Mathematical and Statistical Modelling
- Chemical Engineering – Process Modelling
- Chemical Engineering – Reactor Technology
- Chemical Engineering – Separation Technology
- Chemical Engineering – Thermodynamics
- Chemistry – Advanced analytical
- Chemistry in the areas of Vibrational Spectroscopy or Gas Chromatography
- Chemistry – Catalysis or Polymer Science
- Chemistry – Environmental Science in the areas of Water, Waste or Air, or in Air with a focus on dispersion modelling
- Cyber Security Data Science – Applied Mathematics
- Data Science – Statistics
Applicants are not required to have a formal project proposal ready but should know in which area of chemistry or chemical engineering they would like to study and must be able to discuss possible topics which will support the current sustainability imperatives. Successful candidates will engage with Sasol technical experts and academic supervisors to finalise a project proposal.
