Summary
Develop your teaching practice with our MA TESOL course, based on our stunning campus in the heritage city of Bath.
-
One of the few TESOL courses in the UK that incorporates a teaching placement.
-
Designed for both experienced teachers and those with little or no teaching experience.
-
Blends the theory of language and linguistics teaching with practical skills development.
Based at our beautiful Newton Park campus, this TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) course is for those who wish to teach English as a second or foreign language. We aim to develop confident and well-informed language teaching practitioners who are capable of designing and teaching comprehensive language programmes. You’ll extend your knowledge base by engaging in independent research into your own practice and setting.
We recognise the value of professional, cultural and life experiences, which you’ll develop and explore during the programme. This will enhance your professional knowledge and understanding through reflection, aided by theoretical input and practical application.
Context specific professional development is an important element in the MA TESOL. We prepare you to return to your previous work context or even move to a new one, with an adaptable knowledge base for that particular setting.

| Entry requirements | Students will typically have a good undergraduate degree in an appropriate specialism from a recognised higher education institution. Teaching experience is welcome but not essential. Students wishing to take the Independent Study module in the first trimester must supply evidence of teaching experience in the form of a letter from an employer. If English is not your first language, you'll need to provide evidence of proficiency in the English language. The Admissions Team assesses applications individually, but for postgraduate courses we're looking for an IELTS score of 6.5 with a minimum of 6 in each component (Writing, Listening, Reading and Speaking). In the UK, a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check is required to work with children and vulnerable adults. All course participants will need to complete the necessary paperwork before starting their placement for the programme. There is an additional fee required for this process. |
