Bachelor of Education (B.Ed)

Overview

The Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) is a professional four-year undergraduate program designed to produce qualified, highly skilled secondary-level school teachers, curriculum designers, and education administrators. Operating on an integrated annual examination system, the program requires students to complete 22 comprehensive courses totaling 2,200 marks. The curriculum uniquely structures learning into dual-specialization tracts: a Specialization Major (10 courses) and a Specialization Minor (5 courses), allowing candidates to master two separate teaching subjects. Alongside core content knowledge, the program covers essential professional pedagogical disciplines such as educational psychology, instructional technology, and classroom management. The degree concludes in the fourth year with an extensive, mandatory school-based teaching practice and field internship.
