Building on your previous English language teaching experience, the MA in TESOL and Applied Linguistics will allow you to move on to posts which demand more specialised subject knowledge and often more responsibility and interest.
This postgraduate degree course gives you a thorough grounding in teaching methodology, second language acquisition and exploration of how language works. This will lead to a greater understanding about the way in which language is learned. It’ll also help you to develop the analytical and reflective skills you need to continue to develop as a professional.
Why study with us
- You will be studying with other students who also already have teaching experience, allowing you to share experience, learn from each other and build a professional network.
- You’ll work in small groups of British and international students, so you’ll really get to know each other and your tutors, allowing you to reach your potential.
What you'll do
- You will take 7 modules and then write a dissertation on a topic of your choice, fully supported by a supervisor.
- You will use your self-study time to read around the topics of each module to extend your knowledge and understanding.
- You will develop your critical thinking and academic argumentation skills.

My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
