MA Education (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages)

Applicants with a Cambridge University Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (CELTA) and sufficient English teaching experience will also be considered.

This route allows you to explore an aspect of TESOL relevant to your interests and career development aspirations. You reflect upon your practice, identify areas of professional relevance and explore possible approaches to TESOL. You are encouraged to share your experiences and perspectives on aspects of educational practice. Learning is shared with students on other MA in Education routes from various educational settings and backgrounds.

This allows you to develop a systematic and critical understanding of TESOL and the breadth and depth of knowledge in educational research and practice. Therefore, students can discuss and explore themes particularly relevant to TESOL and develop a sense of belonging to the MA in Education cohort.

You should have a good honours degree (at least a 2.2) and one-year full-time experience teaching English as a foreign or second language in any context. Applicants with a Cambridge University Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (CELTA) and sufficient English teaching experience will also be considered. In exceptional cases, applicants who demonstrate significant knowledge or further study may be considered for the course and asked to attend an informal interview to assess their suitability.

20 Hours of work permit weekly for international students.
