Gain the advanced knowledge, practical skills, and research expertise required to excel as a professional Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). 

This one-year taught Master’s degree is ideal if you are:
  • a teacher looking to advance your knowledge and career prospects, or
  • a student with little or no teaching experience looking to enter the TESOL profession 

You’ll develop knowledge and critical understanding of cutting-edge teaching and learning theories, teaching methodologies, and research skills. Key areas include: 
  • second language acquisition
  • classroom interaction
  • teaching young learners
  • technology-enhanced learning

English as an international language
  • practical teaching methods 
You’ll also build academic and professional skills to engage with TESOL-related fields. You'll use written, spoken, and visual communication.

TESOL Research Portfolio

A highlight of the programme is the opportunity to undertake an innovative TESOL Research Portfolio. Through classes and workshops, you'll develop a robust grounding in the different approaches applicable to research in TESOL.

The portfolio assessment is a supportive, structured format that culminates in either:
  • a dissertation, where you produce original academic research, or
  • a practical project aimed at investigating professional practice

This allows you to align your final project with your career ambitions and academic interests, fostering research excellence and professional development. 

We offer three distinct MA programmes in TESOL. Each programme is tailored to different professional interests and goals.
  • TESOL MA provides a strong foundation in English language teaching theory and practice
  • TESOL and Digital Technology MA focuses on integrating digital tools into language education. This is ideal if you are interested in online or tech-enhanced teaching
  • TESOL and Intercultural Communication MA explores the cultural dimensions of language learning, preparing you to work in diverse, global contexts

You should choose the programme that best aligns with your aspirations and preferred areas of specialisation.
