Professional Development Programme ​

_____________________________________________________________________________________

The Agricultural Research Council (ARC) is a premier science institution that conducts research with partners, develops human capital, and fosters innovation to support and develop the agricultural sector. The ARC strives to nurture and stimulate agricultural research skills of future scientists and researchers, who will in turn fill the scarce and critical skills gaps that exist within the sector.

To meet this challenge, the ARC launched the Professional Development Programme (PDP) in 1996 with the purpose of attracting interest from young graduates from previously disadvantaged communities in South Africa into the agricultural sector, including agricultural engineering. The PDP has become a talent pipeline in which the ARC and the Sector at larger recruit qualified and well-groomed professionals (scientists, economists, engineers, researchers, etc).  

The ARC has partnered with various industry players to support the development of the young graduates, who are paired with experts in the industry to gain practical knowledge, workplace experience, and exposure to various research methodologies, which they in turn use in their studies and careeARC Offers academically deserving students the following bursary opportunities in the field of Agricultural Sciences and Engineering:​

• Masters Students (fully funded for a maximum of 2 years)
