Overview
Applications are open for NASSP Honours and Master's study in Astrophysics and Space Science for 2027 through nodes at North-West University, the University of Cape Town and the University of KwaZulu-Natal.
Complete opportunity details
The official NASSP application page lists a 31 August 2026 deadline for both Honours and Master's applications across all nodes. Honours applicants must apply to their chosen node university, complete the NASSP Honours application form and submit a CV, official academic transcripts, and a passport or South African ID copy. Master's applicants must apply to a node university and complete the NASSP tracking form. Applicants seeking SARAO or SANSA Master's bursary support have an additional NRF-system step.
Eligibility requirements
Applicants must meet the admission requirements of the participating node university and NASSP programme. The official page provides separate Honours and Master's application routes and documents. Funding is not presented as automatic for every admitted student; SARAO or SANSA bursary applicants follow an additional funding step.
