You could use the diploma to qualify for postgraduate study by taking courses in the subject of your choice at intermediate and advanced undergraduate level. It is also a way that you can study a specific subject to complement your existing qualifications and further your personal or professional development. You can supplement your undergraduate degree with the courses you need to follow a specific career path or enhance your professional development. If you’re looking to step up into one of our postgraduate programmes, the graduate diploma is a useful way for you to get there.A BA majoring in TESOL will equip you with concepts and skills that you can later develop through a teacher training qualification. You can combine your TESOL study with another complementary BA major. You will develop an understanding of English and second language learning from a language teaching perspective. You will first develop your skills and knowledge in language analysis, language teaching and learning. You will then build on this foundation by exploring the principles and practices of designing and delivering language teaching tasks, lessons and courses.
