MA Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) is a well-respected qualification, and will enable you to access reputable and high-paying teaching roles in almost any country.

This flexible, distance-learning course is perfect if you want to develop your career, but you can’t attend the University of Sunderland in person. You can choose to study this course on a full-time or part-time basis.
A TESOL qualification is an essential qualification for many overseas teaching jobs. Career options can include senior roles in educational institutions, educational advisers, and educational inspectors.
You will find that possessing a Master's postgraduate degree will also support a career in other fields, as employers recognise the higher levels of research, analysis and communication that a postgraduate degree requires.
