Bachelor of Education Honours

Rules:

• A recognized, four-year professional teaching certification that has already been completed is required of students who wish to register for this qualification. Please be aware that the Department of Higher Education and Training will not accept your qualification if you do not possess a four-year professional teaching qualification. The Honours BEd degree does not serve as a professional teaching certification. This certificate requires at least two academic years to complete (i.e this qualification cannot be completed in one academic year). The maximum number of courses a student may take in their first year is four (PSE4801, RSE4801, CSP4801, ICH4801). RSE4801 and at least one other module must be passed in order for a student to be admitted to the fifth module, HREDU82, in the second year.

Purpose statement:

• The Bachelor of Education with Honours program’s objective is to prepare students for research-based post-graduate courses in education. It helps a student’s understanding of the Foundations of Education and how to use these insights to study a range of educational topics related to their main combinations or stream to be strengthened and expanded. The certification also aims to improve research skills, with a particular emphasis on the techniques and strategies employed in educational research. Students who meet the requirements will be able to conduct research in a particular area and display a strong theoretical foundation in a variety of fields.

This qualification will be delivered using both online and remote learning delivery techniques.

Who may register?

• Applicants may register only after getting word from Unisa that their admissions application has been accepted. If it is revealed that you were improperly admitted to a qualification, Unisa reserves the right to refuse to process and/or delete your registration. Admission to the alternative qualification is not guaranteed. These elements will determine whether you meet the requirements for admission and whether there is room for you.
• Re-registered students can enroll for the 2024 academic year once registration opens.
• Please note: You must submit an online application for the substitute qualification during the allotted application window if you want to start a new qualification.
