New Generations Academic Programme (nGAP) Leadership, Co-ordination and Professional Development

The nGAP is a six-year programme aimed at recruiting and retaining young academics into permanent positions. It is mainly funded by the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) under the Staffing South African Universities Framework (SSAUF). The nGAP requires that an applicant possesses at least an NQF 9 qualification, and will be funded for their doctoral and/or postdoctoral studies. Lecturers in the nGAP are appointed across the 26 public universities in South Africa. DUT currently holds 34 nGAP posts, with 21 currently filled, and 5 PhDs.
