Teaching English to Speaks of Other Languages (TESOL)

With the approval of their home Faculty, students at the University of Exeter can take a series of optional modules in TESOL at INTO University of Exeter (15 credit module in year 1 and 30 credit modules in year 2 & final year). The course is particularly beneficial to students planning to do a PGCE or pursue a teaching-related career. Whilst most students choose to do TESOL over the three years, it is possible to do any module as a stand-alone option at the appropriate level. It is not essential to have studied TESOL at Level 1 if you would like to study it at Level 2. See the programme website for more information.
