Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) Future Professors Programme 2025

The Department of Higher Education and Training’s (DHET) Future Professors Programme (FPP) prepares promising early and mid-career academics to advance to the level of professor across the disciplines. As such, this call seeks to identify the country’s most talented young academics to benefit from a structured and intense programme aimed at accelerating their readiness for the professoriate.

Program Components of Future Professors

  • Baseline Evaluation: This initial assessment helps each scholar gauge their current standing within their discipline and provides personalised recommendations for future growth and development
  • Residential Series: Fellows will engage in a series of seminars, retreats and coaching sessions. These immersive and scholarly community enhancing experiences are complemented by individual opportunities tailored to each participant’s unique needs and aspirations.
  • International Engagement: Scholars will have the chance to participate in international activities that align with their specific intellectual project.
