Master of Arts in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages [MATESOL]

Applicants should hold a recognised Bachelor's degree and preferably meet at least one of the following requirements:

1. a recognised language teaching qualification; or
2. working experience in TESOL.

Holders of a bachelor's degree in disciplines other than English may also be considered.

Candidates without a teaching qualification should be aware that MATESOL is an advanced academic qualification that is most valuable in conjunction with a Postgraduate Diploma in Education (English) (PGDE or equivalent) qualification. Shortlisted applicants may be required to attend an interview.

Applicants whose entrance qualification is obtained from an institution in a non-English speaking system should normally fulfil one of the following minimum English proficiency requirements:

• Overall score of IELTS 7.0 with no subtest lower than 6.5 (academic version) (the test should be taken in test centres and the result should be valid within two years); or
• TOEFL score of 100 (internet-based test) (the test should be taken in test centres and the result should be valid within two years); or
• other equivalent qualifications.
