Finding employment can be difficult for non-South African graduates. Unless you are already in the country, you must have a job offer to gain entry. This can be hard to obtain as employers must prove that they have tried and failed to employ a South African citizen before they employ a foreign worker.

However, the South African government has put in place the Accelerated and Shared Growth Initiative for South Africa (AsgiSA) to ensure the countries economy continues to grow. The plan requires skilled foreign workers with a minimum of five years' experience to be recruited in key areas, so you may need to spend time building your experience in the UK or elsewhere before you apply.

Areas with the most vacancies are:
