Faculty History
The Faculty of Education was established in 1918. It was one of the first faculties of Stellenbosch University and is the oldest Faculty of Education in the country.
The Faculty is made up of three departments, namely:
This inter-disciplinary lens allows us to approach questions of education from multiple perspectives, thus enriching the ability of our students to consider different perspectives and solutions to challenges.
A number of well-respected units are also housed in the Faculty, namely:
The Centre for Higher and Adult Education (CHAE) which offers postgraduate and professional programmes in adult and further learning; and
The Stellenbosch University Centre for Pedagogy (SUNCEP)
The Centre focuses on Teacher Professional Learning (TPL), Learning Enhancement (LE), and University Preparation Programmes (UPP).
