How to apply
International applicants

This course requires academic IELTS 6.5 overall, with no less than 5.5 in each skill. See other accepted English language proficiency qualifications.
Entry requirements
A minimum of 2.2 Honours degree (or international equivalent) in a subject relevant to the field of Education is generally required. Appropriate professional experience will be taken into account alongside other qualifications subject areas. This degree is for anyone who is interested in Education in its widest sense; it will not qualify you to teach.
