RELOCATION OF THE DEPARTMENT OF CHILDHOOD EDUCATION (FOUNDATION PHASE) IN THE FACULTY OF EDUCATION TO THE SOUTH CAMPUS IN 2023
Due to the University of the Free State Council-approved Multi-Campus Management Model, this communication seeks to inform prospective first-year students and Stakeholders that the Department of Childhood Education (Foundation Phase) has relocated to the South Campus.
All staff members (academics and support) are already operating from the Campus, and therefore, all first-year students (undergraduate) who have applied for the Foundation Phase, when admitted, will register, and attend all lectures at the South Campus, from 2023 onwards. The Faculty of Education will communicate the necessary information and share all the details with students before the commencement of the first semester classes.
