Connect with the next generation of South African students.
We are building a trusted route for UK universities to reach motivated, high-potential South African students — and we would love to build it with you.
Four ways we want to work with UK universities.
If you work for a UK university and share our ambition for widening access, we would welcome a conversation.
Recruitment Partnerships
Build clearer routes for motivated South African applicants exploring undergraduate and postgraduate study.
Scholarship Promotion
Help more South African students discover and understand your funding opportunities.
Student Outreach
Explore useful campaigns, content and ambassador initiatives in South Africa and the UK.
Events
Collaborate on open days, virtual fairs, alumni gatherings and future announcements.
More qualified students than university places.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of talented South Africans qualify for higher education — yet many never receive a university offer simply because there are not enough places available. UKSA Pathways helps students discover alternative routes to education, careers and opportunities in the United Kingdom and beyond.

Featured statistic
Almost 346,000 South African learners achieved a Bachelor's Pass in 2025 — yet public university capacity remains substantially lower than demand.
The majority of these students will never receive personalised guidance on international opportunities. UKSA Pathways exists to bridge that information gap.
