• Graduate+ is offered to Boston Higher Education graduates, who successfully completed a qualifying degree/diploma, as listed on the relevant DHET-registration certificate only.
• Graduate+ applies only to students who are not employed at any point during the final Academic Year of their qualifying Boston Degree or Diploma studies up and until graduation.
• Students who have not been able to find employment must register with Boston’s Graduate Support Services within 30 days of the date of their graduation.
• From the date a student registers with Boston’s Graduate Support Services, Boston has a 12-month period to assist the student in securing an employment offer. If an offer of employment is not secured within this time, Boston will, at its sole discretion, either:
  • offer the student a place in a Boston Postgraduate Diploma (for students who have completed a Boston degree), or
  • offer the student a place in a Boston Advanced Diploma (for students who have completed a Boston diploma), together with a bursary to cover the tuition fees.
  • During the first 6 months, the student must successfully complete a free online ‘Job-Hunting Skills Coaching’ series to enhance his or her chances of securing a position.
• The student’s account with Boston must have been settled in full on or before the student completed his or her qualification, i.e., before he or she satisfied all of the requirements for certification in order to graduate. It is expressly stated that Students that were awarded corporate, Sector Education and Training Authority (“SETA”), bursaries via Boston/from Boston and/or third-party bursaries, whether in part or in full, during their final academic year, will not be eligible for participation on the Graduate + programme but will be eligible for general graduate support services.
• The student must have completed his or her qualification in the minimum time period over which the qualification can be completed, which is 3 years (i.e., over 6 academic semesters) or 4 years for LLB students (i.e. over 8 academic semesters) from the time of the first registration for such Degree or Diploma.
  Note: A student who has been awarded credits/exemption from modules may be required by Boston to complete his/her chosen Degree/Diploma within a time period which is less than that prescribed above, to be determined by Boston at its sole discretion.
• If the student’s application to enter the Graduate+ programme is successful, it is the responsibility of the student to contact their branch in order to obtain their contract, which they will need to sign and send back to their branch.
• The student should note that application does not equate to automatic entry into the Graduate+ programme and candidates will be notified of the outcome of their application following due process.
• Additional Terms and Conditions apply. These are detailed in the contract, which will be made available upon successful acceptance into the Graduate+ programme.
