The Bachelor of Education in Senior Phase and Further Education and Training Teaching at the University of Pretoria is a four-year professional degree that prepares graduates to teach learners in Grades 7 to 12 — covering the critical secondary schooling years that culminate in the National Senior Certificate examination. Students specialise in specific subject areas relevant to senior and FET phase teaching, including mathematics, physical sciences, life sciences, accounting, economics, languages, history, and others, developing deep subject knowledge alongside pedagogical expertise. The programme addresses South Africa's urgent need for qualified, specialist subject teachers in secondary schools, particularly in mathematics and physical sciences — subjects where teacher shortages are most acute. Graduates register with SACE and are eligible to teach in any South African school.
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).
