The programme is approved and recognised by the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET), accredited by the Council on Higher Education (CHE), and registered with the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA), ensuring alignment with national academic and professional standards.
This degree consists of 512 credits, with coursework starting at NQF Level 5 and progressing to NQF Level 7 at the exit level. Graduates will be fully qualified to teach in both public and private schools across South Africa, equipping them with the pedagogical knowledge and subject expertise required to foster learning at the intermediate phase.
