Mitsubishi Power Africa

About Mitsubishi Power Africa

Mitsubishi Power Africa is the South African business of Mitsubishi Power, which belongs to the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries group. The company supplies equipment and services for power stations, including boilers, turbines and related plant. Its customers are utilities and power producers, and its work depends on engineers, project managers, lawyers and finance staff.

Earlier adverts for its bursary used the older name of the business, so you may meet that name in older listings. Check that any advert you find belongs to the same company.

How Mitsubishi Power Africa supports students

The company has advertised an external bursary for undergraduate students who are not its employees. The 2025 advert covered contract management and law (LLB), cost and management accounting, and engineering-related design fields. It also advertised an internal bursary for employees who want to study further, and that one required South African citizenship and an overall average of at least 60%.

For external students, the listings say the award covers tuition fees, books, accommodation and meals. You can read what we found on our Mitsubishi Power Africa Bursary page.

These details come from third-party copies of the advert and from a notice that a university hosted for an earlier round. The company's own page was not available to us, so treat the terms as a guide only.

What to know before applying

The 2025 adverts told applicants to email their documents to the company's human resources team, and to put the bursary name in the subject line. The listings gave a closing date of 29 November 2024 for that round. That date has long passed, and we found no advert for a later round.

This means you should not apply on the strength of an old advert. Instead, check the careers section of the company's website and its social media pages, and look for a notice from your university's bursary office. Universities often pass on the advert to students in the right fields.

The listings also warn applicants not to contact the company about bursaries that have already closed. Respect that, and wait for a new advert before you write.

When a new round opens, expect to send a certified ID, your latest academic results, proof of registration and a motivation. Prepare those documents now so that you can respond quickly. Apply only through the channels named in the company's own advert, and ignore any request for a fee.

Power projects take years to plan and build, and the work attracts specialists from many fields. Following the company's news will show you which projects are under way and which skills they need, and that knowledge will help you write a stronger application when a new round opens.
