Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) In-Service MA

Applicants should have a second-class Bachelor's degree in a relevant subject (e.g. English, languages, education, linguistics). Those with other degrees may still apply as all applications are evaluated holistically. At the time of application, applicants should have had at least two years' full-time language teaching experience or part-time equivalent post first degree. Applicants normally also have a teaching qualification although this is not an entry requirement. Please note that having sufficient language teaching experience after having completed your undergraduate degree is an essential entry requirement. If you do not have the required teaching experience, you might be interested in applying for either the Applied Linguistics MA or the Teaching of English to Speakers of other Languages (Pre-Service) MA, which do not have previous teaching experience as an entry requirement.

The English language level for this programme is: Level 2.
