Applications are open for the TFG Data Science and Leadership Fellowship 2026. The Data Science and Leadership Fellowship will fund the first and second year of study towards either a research or coursework Masters Degree in Data Science, across five designated Tier One South African public institutions of higher learning.
At The Foschini Group (TFG), they believe that data scientists are key to making informed decisions for a better world. Critically, they hold the key to solving some of the most pressing challenges facing our country. Harvesting insights contained within big data, they can help to focus scarce resources where they are needed most, and at precisely the right scale.
Data is also key to modern business, and even more so for a leading omni-channel retailer like TFG. Their vision, to create the most remarkable omni-channel experiences for our customers, is enabled by mining data for the sharpest, most relevant insights, and the ability to assimilate and interpret a multitude of data points in a complex, ever-changing environment.
