RESOLVED: the user-supplied Faculty of Education 2026 Yearbook (BEd) itself lists Early Childhood Care and Education as a current, active programme at this exact APS and duration - the earlier [conflict] flag (over a different, older yearbook PDF describing a phase-out) does not apply to this current document. Raw-confirmed against the user-supplied NWU 2026 Faculty Yearbook. NWU adds your six best subjects (excluding Life Orientation) on an 8-point scale, for a total out of 48 - read from NWU’s own APS calculator. The requirement shown is what NWU publishes.

Rhodes points of 39-43 are considered at the Dean’s discretion; 44 or more receives a provisional offer. We show 44 as the qualifying number so that "you qualify" means exactly that - but you are still worth an application from 39. Rhodes has no Engineering and no MBChB. The NBT is recommended, not required. Life Orientation is not scored, but you need at least 50% in it.

UKZN APS 28 points out of 48

• •English: level 4 if it is your Home Language, level 4 if it is your First Additional Language
• •Varies by phase – Foundation Phase (Grade R-3) also needs another official SA language at Home/First Additional Language level 4 and Mathematics level 3 or Mathematical Literacy level 4. Intermediate (Grade 4-6) and Senior/FET (Grade 7-12) need level 5 in two further subjects relevant to your chosen teaching package instead - see UKZN’s own guide for the exact list per package.

ADDED DETAIL 2026-10-02 from a user-supplied copy of UKZN’s own Undergraduate Degree Requirements Guide: the three phases share English Home/First Additional Language level 4 and this APS range (48-28), but differ in their other subject requirements - see the Foundation Phase detail above. A Matriculation Exemption route exists for all three phases via an NQF Level 4 National Certificate (Vocational) with a Bachelor’s-grade endorsement, considered through selection criteria at 32 points.
