Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) with Placement MA

This 18-month course is designed for students with little or no teaching experience to study TESOL and gain work-based experience in the UK. It includes completing a 12-month MA TESOL and an additional 6-month teaching placement, allowing students to apply their skills and techniques. The course focuses on developing understanding of English language classroom practice from an international perspective, including lesson planning, learning resources, and assessment methods. Students will also develop research and evaluation skills, learn to apply these to professional contexts, and have access to an outstanding teaching team and excellent facilities.

• An honours degree in a relevant subject at 2:2 or above, or a professional equivalent.
• In addition, you will be invited for an interview to assess your oral and written skills and your suitability for and interest in the placement part of the course.
• For international students whose first language is not English:
• The University will determine whether a degree can be recognised as UK equivalent.
• You will need to meet the minimum requirements of an English Language qualification. The minimum of IELTS 6.5 overall with a minimum of 7.0 in Speaking and no element lower than 6.0, or equivalent will be considered acceptable.
