The BEd qualifies you to teach in any school in South Africa, and to register with the South African Council of Educators (SACE). A BEd from Wits provides career options in teaching or educational research.
If you want to qualify as a teacher at the secondary (high) school level, you may choose a first degree programme (such as a BA, BSc, or BCom), followed by a one-year Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE).
While certain courses are compulsory for all BEd students, you can take other courses that prepare you to teach particular phases and teach subjects effectively to different age groups. All students undertake regular practical teaching experience during their studies.
