Studying & Research at the Fitz

Overview

The Institute does not offer undergraduate study opportunities although an Honours programme is offered in conjunction with the Department of Zoology.

Postgraduate Study Opportunities include the Institute's internationally acclaimed Conservation Biology Masters Programme and research based MScs and PhDs. The Institute also routinely accommodates post-doctoral research fellows.

There are a number of scholarships available to students wishing to study at the Institute. Further details about these can be obtained from the Postgraduate Scholarships Office, by contacting pgans@bremner.uct.ac.za or  from the coordinators of the individual Research Programmes.

Volunteer Opportunities

We also offer the opportunity for biology students to gain work experience through volunteer work. Volunteer opportunities are usually unpaid positions, although travel costs are sometimes covered. Contact the coordinator of the appropriate Research Programme and/ or see the Current News and Vacancies pages for details.
