Graduate Certificate in TESOL
Overview
The Graduate Certificate in TESOL is designed to provide a specialist qualification for graduates interested in further study in TESOL. It is not an introductory course – it is taught at 900 level and is designed for those with some experience in the TESOL field who want to update and extend their theoretical knowledge. Contact the TESOL program co-ordinator for more details. The course consists of 24 credit points completed over six months full time.
The GCertTESOL can also be completed by distance education, using online delivery technologies or print-based study materials.
Entry Requirements
Entry is available to candidates who satisfy the University's entry requirements for Graduate Certificates (i.e. a three-year degree or equivalent).
Advanced Standing
Students who wish to continue onto the MEd program can transfer 24 credit points for subjects completed in a Graduate Certificate program, provided the candidate has not formally graduated with the Graduate Certificate award. If the candidate has formally received the Graduate Certificate, up to 12 credit points of advanced standing will be granted towards the MEd.
