				| 
 |  
				| I have a BA and a MA in International Peace and TESOL. 
 Studying a Doctor of Ed leadership and realizing I should also study either a DELTA or a Post grad cert in Linguistics. Do you think that is enough to land a decent job in UAE? Like HCT, Zayed or UAEU

 If you have an MA in Applied Linguistics/TESOL, you should eventually be able to get a job with one of the better employers.
 
 You will also need to present them with a few years of related experience - teaching Academic English - preferably writing - preferably to Arabic speakers.

				| I'd like to know more about the MA in International Peace - which university provides this degree and what exactly is the course of study? |  |

				| www.apus.edu offers a MA in international peace and conflict resolution, I focused on the middle east and finished it while I was there. |  |

				| Never heard of them... doubt that they are recognized in the Gulf... and can't think of any use for one in education there. 
 What does one do with such a degree?
 
 What did you mean by "TESOL"?
