BACHELOR OF EDUCATION: FURTHER EDUCATION AND TRAINING (BEDFET)
DESCRIPTION
This is a comprehensive four year undergraduate degree. The degree prepares
teachers who qualify to teach at both Senior Phases, and Further Education
and Training (FET) band.
The degree carries 480 credits.
DURATION
The BED FET is a four year degree programme on full time basis.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS for BEDFET
The minimum admission requirement is a National Senior Certificate (NSC) as certified by the Council for Quality Assurance in General and Further Education (Umalusi) with an achievement rating of 4 (adequate achievement, 50-59 %) or better in four subjects. In addition, a student must have achieved an E in English Higher Grade or a D in English Standard Grade to be registered for enrolment in the BEDFET programme, must have a minimum point score of 26. A grade 12 certificate with exemption is required if Grade 12 has been achieved before 2008.
DURATION OF THE BEDFET PROGRAMME
(a) The duration of the programme is a minimum of four years.
(b) In the first, second and third years of undergraduate study, students
in full-time employment cannot be registered for more than six modules per
year.
(c) In the fourth year, students in full-time employment cannot be registered
for more than twelve modules per year.
ACADEMIC PROGRESS
A student shall not repeat a module at first or second year level more than once. Cancellation of a course after the commencement of the second semester for year courses and after the closing date for cancellation of semester courses or modules shall be deemed a failure, except if Senate decides otherwise on the basis of special circumstances.
No second year courses shall be taken unless two year courses (or four semester courses or modules) have been passed at first year level; in order to register for third year courses, a student shall have passed six year courses (twelve semester courses or modules) at first and second year level.
Students registered for the BEDFET degree are required to pass all modules at third year level before they proceed to fourth year. Students are however allowed to register for first semester outstanding modules at third year level with the hope that they would pass these modules before they engage the Practice Teaching Schedule during the second semester. They are required to pass outstanding modules before they can proceed to their fourth year level of study. This is because in their fourth year second semester, students are posted to selected neighbouring school to do Practice Teaching.
