Course intelligence for Bachelor of Education in Senior Phase & FET Teaching (Humanities)
Data-driven planning insights for this specific course: job market outlook, NSFAS funding, and how competitive admission is likely to be.
Job market outlook
Bachelor of Education in Senior Phase & FET Teaching (Humanities) doesn’t currently appear on the national scarce-skills list as a History/Geography Teacher. That’s not a red flag on its own, most jobs in South Africa aren’t on that list, it just tracks where employers reported the strongest hiring pressure. Your own results, experience and network will matter more here than national demand trends.
NSFAS funding
As a Bachelor's Degree at WSU, a public institution, this course generally falls within NSFAS’s undergraduate funding scope. Funding is means-tested and not automatic, so confirm your own eligibility at nsfas.org.za before relying on it.
Admission chances
Meeting the requirements at an admission score of APS 24+ doesn’t guarantee a seat here, demand for this course tends to outstrip the places available, especially closer to the closing date. Apply early rather than waiting until the deadline.
These insights are estimates generated from South Africa’s National List of Occupations in High Demand (DHET, November 2023 draft), NSFAS’s published funding rules, and this university’s general applicant demand. They’re planning guidance, not a guarantee. Always confirm funding and admission specifics directly with WSU and NSFAS.
Step by step
How to Apply at WSU for 2027
