Help you to apply relevant applied linguistics research and theory to the practicalities of language teaching
-
Assist you in developing a deeper understanding of current classroom methodology, as well as of current developments in testing, in course design and in materials development

Normally you’ll need a first degree and relevant professional experience before applying for this programme.
Our academic staff have extensive experience of teaching internationally and working on projects and have active research interests and publications. Student feedback consistently indicates how much they appreciate our tutors’ friendly and patient support as well as their excellent academic and professional abilities.
You’ll take six compulsory modules, along with two further module options from the selection below. There’ll also be a dissertation to write, normally on a subject related to the topics covered in the taught modules.
Social activities
As part of the programme, we arrange regular social outings for students and staff. The aim of such visits is to enable us to get to know each other in an informal setting and to visit local places of interest. We endeavour to ensure that each visit is free of charge to maximize participation.
