TESOL - Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (Online) MA


UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM
Overall Rating

I had a very poor experience with the university. I realised at a very late stage that nobody was actually reading my work or correcting it properly. My sessions with the supervisor were always cancelled sometimes with a notification, but most of the time without any notification. The dissertation supervisor don't read your work but they always claim that their grading standards are very high so they will always mark you down but won't bother with supporting anyone

Uni Facilities

Course and Lecturers

The course doesn't provide any support and wasn't updated for more than 20 years. The university doesn't provide any support for distance learners, there are no live sessions, no interactive presentations, no group work. The university only provides a list of readings (which may or may not be in the library) and a tutor to help review you writing (according to the latest update in 2021 the tutors won't even read your work in full). The quality of the programme itself is questionable and you will know early on that you're just paying to send the assignments, but the university doesn't help with anything. Best to avoid.
