Post-Graduate Studies in the fields of Water Sciences, Energy Sciences, Climate Change and Education Planning

The African Union has a vision of peace, integration, prosperity and peerage in the global community; an Africa led by its own people with a proud African identity; where African solutions are developed for African problems.

To achieve the vision of the African Union, engender sustainable development and meet millennium development goals, there is need to step up efforts to develop, nurture and retain a critical mass of human resources, particularly in the areas of science and technology. Support is also necessary to enhance the quality of teaching of these critical disciplines. For this reason, the African Union Commission established the Mwalimu Nyerere African Union Scholarship Scheme in 2007.

The Mwalimu Nyerere African Union Scholarship Scheme is designed to enable young Africans to study in leading African Universities and Higher Education Institutions, in the areas of science and technology, with a binding agreement that beneficiaries will work in any African country for at least 2 years after graduation.

The Scheme is in its third year. The first call was for students undertaking Bachelors’ degree programmes. The 2010 call is restricted to post-graduate studies (Masters and PhD).
