Varsity College Teaching Courses
- A Bachelor of Arts Degree with postgraduate study
A popular choice of course at Varsity College. This is because many BA students who decide to pursue teaching later on can add to their degree with a post graduate qualification instead of changing courses entirely. A BA also allows for a bit of flexibility if you are unsure of which career path you are leaning towards. - A Bachelor of Education Degree in Foundation Phase Teaching
The course for those who like the idea of teaching grades R to 3. This is a four-year degree and has been structured in line with the Department of Higher Education and Training’s Minimum Requirements for Teacher Education Qualifications (July 2011). It also meets Higher Education Qualifications Framework guidelines. - A Bachelor of Education Degree in Intermediate Phase Teaching
For those interested in teaching grades 4 to 7, this a four year course. It meets the same requirements and structuring standards as the BEd. Foundation Phase.
All of these courses foster an approach to life-long learning. This means that they encourage students to continue growing and improving themselves so that they may impart this on their classes one day. Should you study any of these courses, you can pursue a range of educational positions other than just teaching alone. You can fill a school management role, take up educational consultancy and even consider school counselling.
