Entry Requirements

Guidelines and Check list for all BEd Honours Applicants

1. Prior Qualifications 2. Professional Experience 3. Placement Test
Either:
A recognised Bachelor’s degree and professional teacher’s qualification;
Or:
An equivalent four year qualification (for example, non-graduate HDE or FDE/ACE).		 At least two years’ classroom-based experience or equivalent work in an educational context. South African applicants are required to write a PLACEMENT TEST.

NOTE: For logistical reasons it is not possible for Namibian applicants to write a placement test. Instead they are required to provide a well-articulated, well-written PROFESSIONAL MOTIVATION as to why they believe they should be considered for a place on the programme. (This would include such things as what they currently contribute to Namibia’s educational reform efforts, and what they believe they would ‘take back’ to the profession upon successful completion of the programme, were they to be offered a place.)
