The Bachelor of Education in Intermediate Phase Teaching at the University of Pretoria is a four-year professional degree that trains graduates to teach learners in Grades 4 to 6 — a critical transition phase in which children move from learning to read and count to reading and calculating to learn. The programme develops teachers who are pedagogically skilled across the intermediate phase curriculum, with specialisations in specific learning areas such as languages, mathematics, social sciences, or natural sciences. Students develop understanding of child development in the middle childhood years, inclusive education, assessment practices, and school-community relationships. Graduates register with the South African Council for Educators (SACE) and are in demand across South Africa's 23,000 primary schools.
Admission requirements: English (Home or First Additional Language): Level 5 (60-69%); Mathematics or Mathematical Literacy: Level 3 (40-49%); APS: 28 (excluding Life Orientation).
