Media24 Journalism Bursary 2016 Opportunity

Media24 offers four bursaries for students wanting to complete their postgraduate qualifications in journalism at either Stellenbosch University, NWU, Wits or Rhodes University. The only way to join our bursary programme is to get accepted onto one of the postgraduate courses at these partner institutions. If your application is successful, the universities inform Media24 and we contact candidates who meet our requirements.

This is a two-year bursary programme – one year of postgraduate study and one year based at Media24. For 2016 we’re specifically offering bursaries for those eager to be based at Beeld, Rapport, Die Burger or Netwerk24.
