Did you know that 47% of jobs that exist today will disappear in the near future? At Absa, we recognise the big role technology is playing in transforming the jobs we do and the way we work.

That is why we have teamed up with Wits University in offering bursaries to qualifying students worth R150 000 each to study towards an Honours qualification in Big Data Analytics at Wits University in 2018.

Here’s what you need to qualify for the bursary:

  • Have a BSc or equivalent degree (NQF7) with at least 1 or 2 years of Computer Science or Software Engineering.
  • Have a BSc or equivalent degree (NQF7) with at least 1 or 2 years of Mathematics, Applied Mathematics or Statistics.
  • Be a South African citizen or permanent resident.
  • Have a passion for machine learning, data science and big data analytics.

At Absa, we believe education is too important to put on hold.

If you don’t succeed with your bursary application, it’s not the end.
