BEd (Intermediate Phase Teaching)

BEd (Intermediate Phase Teaching)

The BEd (Intermediate Phase Teaching) program consists of fundamental, core and elective modules that prepare students to teach effectively in multilingual and multicultural classrooms.

Individuals with a passion for learners and learning should apply for this degree program. Successful candidates should be dedicated and hardworking, and passionate about teaching and learning.

The BEd (Intermediate Phase Teaching) degree program qualifies the successful candidate to teach a language and another subject/learning area. Languages serve as conduits/mediums through which effective communication is conducted in any classroom. Subsequently, the language elective will give the beginner-teacher the edge in providing quality education in the classroom.

The admission requirements apply to students who apply for admission to the University of Pretoria with a National Senior Certificate (NSC) and Independent Examination Board (IEB) qualifications.
