Postgraduate courses
The International Education and Lifelong Learning Institute provides two strands of postgraduate programmes – Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), and International Education.
Our TESOL programmes are designed for postgraduate students who are interested in the teaching and assessment of English language, while our International Education programmes are designed to give students an understanding of the leadership, management and administrative issues involved in schools, universities, education-facing NGOs and similar organisations operating in international contexts.
Both of our strands are available as MSc, PGDip and PGCert options, both on-campus and online, and both with September and January entry options. We also offer one DProf course – Doctor of Professional Practice in TESOL.
Scholarships are also available for a variety of applicants, including those with refugee or asylum seeker status, humanitarian protection, or those seeking sanctuary.
For students interested in the process of teaching English language skills to others, our TESOL programmes are ideal – these are available at MSc, PGCert, PGDip and DProf levels, both online and on-campus.
Our International Education MSc, PGCert and PGDip teaching covers areas such as Leadership and Management, Trends and Policies, and Organisational Development in International Education.
It’s now also possible to study a single module with us. You can choose a module which would be useful professional development for you, or which suits your own particular interest.
You will study with all our other online students, who are studying for an MSc, PG Dip or PG Cert, and will receive the same levels of support and interaction.
You can find details of the modules on offer via the programme links above.
