Glencore Coal SA Bursary Opportunity for 2027

Glencore Coal South Africa advertised bursary opportunities for students entering the first year of university in 2027 and students already enrolled at university who wish to study Mining Engineering. The opportunity is aimed at building the technical skills required in the coal mining business. Preference is given to applicants who live in communities where Glencore Coal operations are located.

Applicants already at university must be in their first or second year of study and have achieved an average of at least 60%. Applicants who are already funded by another organisation or company are not eligible for this opportunity. Selection may include assessments and interviews and is aligned with the company’s future talent and employment equity requirements.

The advertised bursary package includes tuition fees, meals and accommodation, prescribed textbooks, compulsory excursions or seminars where required, travel allowances for the first and second semester, and a personal allowance. The official vacancy listed the closing date as 30 October 2026, so this 2027 intake is closed as at 6 November 2026.
