Course Description

Building on your previous English language teaching experience, the MA in TESOL and Applied Linguistics will allow you to move on to posts which demand more specialised subject knowledge and often more responsibility and interest.

This postgraduate degree course gives you a thorough grounding in teaching methodology, second language acquisition and exploration of how language works. This will lead to a greater understanding about the way in which language is learned. It’ll also help you to develop the analytical and reflective skills you need to continue to develop as a professional.

Why study with us

  • You will be studying with other students who also already have teaching experience, allowing you to share experience, learn from each other and build a professional network.
