A well-rounded professional learning experience is developed through extended internship. The programme uses technology as an enabler for professional development and practice.
Students will have the opportunity to benefit from the faculty's involvement with field-based action research and work with marginalised communities to develop a critically grounded and practical knowledge of field realities and field action.
The programme allows students to develop a research-based, understanding of education theory that informs practice and enables them to proactively engage with and reinvigorate the institutional contexts of work. The course work and practicum will help prepare educators who can work with diverse and plural contexts and inclusively to achieve education for all.

Programme Structure
The B.Ed-M.Ed programme spread over three years (six semesters) will be offered as a full time course with 122 credits. The courses are graded and address teacher preparation and post-graduate studies in education. Some courses are designed as taught courses, while others are designed as practical courses involving experiential learning through workshop, lab or school and field internship.
Most courses include engagement with the field to understand and contextualise issues. Pedagogic specialisations currently offered are: English, Mathematics, Science and Social Science. These will be allocated based upon the entry level basic academic degree of students. Students are also expected to select and study one area of advanced specialisation, and pursue their research dissertation in one of the areas: Language education, Mathematics education, Science Education, Social Science education; Education and Development, Education Technology and New Media.
Student-teachers will engage with schools over the entire period of the programme in various ways and capacities, culminating in the period of internship. In the second year of the programme, the school teaching internship is planned to extend over a full academic year of the school. During the third year, student teachers will be attached to sites, aligned to the specialisation they select to provide them an opportunity to observe the complexities in the field, develop a critical understanding of practice as well as pilot innovations.
