About Future Professors Programme
from our crawl and measurement
Home is a business whose own site puts it this way: "Future Professors Programme is a flagship programme of the Department of Higher education, training and developing the qualities of academic." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 4.4 out of 10.
Our crawl found structured data on the page (WebPage, BreadcrumbList, WebSite), a sitemap and a readable heading structure. It is missing an llms.txt file.

What this score means
Your AEO score measures whether AI search engines - ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini - can actually read your site and cite it in answers. Roughly two-thirds of sites are invisible to them. At 4.4/10, Future Professors Programme is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.

Applicants should hold a doctorate in any discipline and already have a track-record of some academic achievement that would signal advancement to the professoriate. An NRF rating is not required, but would be an advantage. Our fellows typically – but not exclusively – come from the lecturer and senior lecturer ranks.
