The Department of Higher Education and Training is one of the departments of the South African government. It oversees universities and other post-secondary education in South Africa. It was created in 2009 after the election of President Jacob Zuma when the former Department of Education was divided.

The DHET also works with various other governments and institutions to promote and support the offering and uptake of international scholarships. At this time, the Department does not fully fund any scholarships for international studies and our role varies from programme to programme, across the different opportunities.
