ArcelorMittal Engineering Bursaries 2027: Watch Your Inbox

Who can apply

• ArcelorMittal has identified different academic requirements for Grade 12 learners and applicants already studying at university.
• Be South African citizens.
• Plan to enrol full-time at a recognised South African university in 2027.
• Pursue one of the advertised four-year engineering degrees.
• Meet the advertised academic requirement involving English, Mathematics and Physical Sciences, with a minimum of 75%.
• The advertisement’s 75% wording should be clarified with ArcelorMittal if an applicant is uncertain whether their individual subject results meet the threshold.
• Grade 12 applicants must also satisfy the admission requirements of the university and engineering qualification they intend to pursue.
• The bursary is not limited to learners entering university for the first time.
• Students already registered at university may also be considered.
• According to the official advertisement, university applicants must have passed all the courses for which they were registered during the study period already completed.
• This makes academic progression an important eligibility consideration.
• The advertisement does not specify an additional minimum university percentage average.
• Applicants should not assume that the Grade 12 threshold automatically becomes the requirement for current university students.
• Carefully review the eligibility requirements, supported engineering disciplines, academic conditions and supporting documents.
• Ensure that your intended qualification meets the advertised four-year engineering degree requirement.
• It is important to distinguish the conditions advertised by ArcelorMittal from additional career and education advice provided by Edupstairs.
• The current official recruitment advertisement identifies South African citizenship, full-time study towards a qualifying four-year engineering degree, the six supported disciplines, the Grade 12 subject and academic requirements, the passing of registered courses for current university students, and the required CV and academic documentation.
• It also describes the advertised funding package and the company’s Wamly recruitment process.
• Eligible South African Grade 12 learners and current university students planning qualifying full-time four-year engineering degree studies in 2027 may apply, subject to the advertised academic requirements.
• Does the ArcelorMittal Bursary cover tuition fees?

Documents you will need

• An updated CV.
• A copy of their latest academic record or report.
• Your CV should present your educational history accurately and professionally.
• Grade 12 learners should ensure that their available academic report is clear and readable.
• University students should prepare their latest academic records showing completed modules and results.
• Where the online recruitment system requests additional information or identification documents, follow those instructions.

How to apply

Applications are submitted directly to ArcelorMittal Engineering - we do not collect applications. Read the eligibility criteria, prepare your supporting documents, then complete your application on the official page.

Full details

Keep checking your email after submitting for the ArcelorMittal engineering bursaries 2027: a Wamly recorded-interview invitation has its own deadline. Missing that step can affect consideration. Prepare your CV and latest academic record for the 4 November 2026 closing date, then monitor your inbox.

This programme supports full-time study towards a four-year engineering degree. It also expects strong academic performance, vacation work and workplace learning, so consider the practical commitments alongside the financial support.

What should you know before the November deadline?

Which engineering field can you choose?

The supported disciplines are:

• Electrical Engineering.
• Industrial Engineering.
• Mechanical Engineering.
• Metallurgical Engineering.
• Computer Engineering.
• Electronic Engineering.

Check your qualification’s exact name and duration. A related course does not automatically meet the stated degree requirement. For example, Computer Engineering funding should not be treated as approval for every computing qualification.

Keep your university acceptance or registration details nearby while completing your profile. This helps you enter the programme name consistently across your records.

What marks and study conditions must you meet?

• South African citizenship.
• Planned full-time university enrolment in 2027.
• A qualifying degree in one of the six listed disciplines.

If you are currently in Grade 12

The requirement names English, Mathematics and Physical Sciences alongside a 75% minimum.

The wording does not separately explain how that threshold is assessed for each subject. Do not assume a 75% overall Matric average is enough. Compare your individual subject marks and seek clarification from ArcelorMittal if your eligibility is unclear.

If you are already at university

You must have passed every course for which you registered during the study period already completed. No separate minimum university percentage average is stated.

Read your transcript course by course. An overall average can hide an unsuccessful module, so use the actual results when checking this condition and completing the portal.

Which study costs does the bursary cover?

• Registration fees.
• Tuition fees.
• Books.
• An accommodation allowance.
• Food allowances.
• A once-off laptop allowance.

The package covers several major study expenses, but exact rand amounts and the complete agreement terms are not published in the listing.

Compare the written offer with your university costs before making commitments. Check allowance limits, payment timing, approved purchases and any conditions attached to the support. Keep the registration deadline on your own planning calendar.

What should you prepare for the upload screen?

The two documents specifically requested are:

• An updated CV.
• Your latest academic record or school report.

For a student CV, use your real subjects, academic achievements, projects and relevant activities. A short description of a genuine school or university project is more useful than work experience you cannot substantiate.

The portal’s CV upload accepts PDF, DOC, DOCX or TXT files up to 10 MB. Follow any separate instructions shown for other records.

Open the final files before uploading them. Check that your name, results and contact details are readable, and remove outdated versions from the folder you will use for the submission.

How do you complete the online submission?

1. Open the official ArcelorMittal engineering bursary listing. Check the programme title and reference arcmt_000948.
2. Create a recruitment profile or sign in. Use an email address and cellphone number you check regularly.
3. Complete the requested personal and education details. Match your qualification and results to your supporting records.
4. Upload your CV and latest academic report or record. Check the format and size instructions on each screen.
5. Review and submit before 4 November 2026. Retain any confirmation the portal provides.
6. Monitor your inbox and spam folder. If invited to Wamly, complete the recorded interview by the deadline in that invitation.

How can you prepare for a recorded interview?

Read the invitation before you start recording. The interview deadline is a separate instruction from the bursary closing date.

Choose a quiet place and check your camera, microphone and internet connection. Follow the platform’s instructions, including any checks it offers before recording.

Practise explaining why your chosen engineering field interests you. Think of a real project or academic task you can discuss clearly, including your own contribution. These are preparation ideas, rather than a prediction of the questions you will receive.

What else should you check before committing?

Can a TVET diploma replace the four-year university degree?

A TVET qualification does not automatically meet this degree requirement. If you are progressing to a qualifying university programme, confirm that study route with ArcelorMittal.

Do current university students need a 75% average?

The stated university condition is to have passed all registered courses for the completed study period. The 75% wording appears under the Grade 12 requirement.

Does the laptop allowance mean a laptop will be delivered?

The package specifies an allowance, rather than promising delivery of a device. Confirm its value, payment method and purchasing rules if selected.

Does the Vanderbijlpark location tell you where to study?

The listing gives Vanderbijlpark as its location but describes studies at a South African university. Confirm workplace-learning arrangements before planning travel or accommodation around the company’s location.

The Bottom Line

Prepare your CV and latest marks, check your degree and complete the portal submission before 4 November 2026. Keep monitoring your email afterwards so a recorded-interview invitation is not overlooked.

For your wider study plan, compare other bursary opportunities on SETA Careers and keep a separate record of each programme’s conditions and deadlines.
