Whether you're looking to deepen your classroom expertise, move into a leadership role, or influence the future of English language education, this course offers the knowledge, tools, and inspiration to help you get there.
This is not a one-size-fits-all course. You'll have the opportunity to tailor your learning through a choice of specialist pathways, each available as a standalone degree or within the broader MA TESOL framework. These include:
Educational Technology: explore cutting-edge digital tools and approaches that are transforming language learning around the world.
Intercultural Education: develop a nuanced understanding of global communication and cross-cultural learning.
Materials and Course Design: learn to create engaging, effective content and curricula that meet the needs of diverse learners.
Teacher Education: gain the skills to mentor and train other educators, and shape the next generation of TESOL professionals.
Taught by leading experts in applied linguistics and education, the course combines rigorous academic study with practical insight drawn from real-world teaching contexts. You’ll engage with the latest research, reflect critically on your own practice, and collaborate with a global network of fellow professionals.
Graduates go on to achieve senior positions in schools, universities, government bodies, and NGOs worldwide.
Whether you’re aiming to lead a department, develop national curricula, or deliver teacher training, this MA will equip you to make a meaningful impact in the field of English language education.
