One thing that I don't quite understand. I was told that my MA in TEFL doesn't count since it's from a Spanish uni, yet all 16 courses and the thesis were in English. My Spanish isn't good enough to study in Spanish.
I was told that it's no good because it's from a non-English speaking country, but Korean employers will accept MAs from Korea? even though it's a non-English speaking country? |

| I'm interested in doing an MA in Applied Linguistics at Birmingham. For those studying in the program and working full-time, do you find the coursework to be overwhelming at times? |

Where you earned your MA is inconsequential, because it is not a prerequisite for the E2 visa. If a potential employer tells you that they won't count your MA because it was earned in a non-English speaking nation, then they are telling you that they are looking for a reason to pay you less. I know of several individuals that are working at Korean universities with graduate qualifications earned in non-English speaking European nations. I also know of one person who does very well with an MBA he earned at Sejong University.
Call them on their BS and negotiate for higher pay. If they are committed to hiring you, they'll be flexible.
Good luck to you. |

I guess my problem is taht my MA is still not ready. takes a year after you graduate.  Gotta love those Spanish unis. Won't have it until July 2010.
BUT, they offered me 2.3 on the phone, but 2.6 in the contract. Even though I told them on the phone that my MA was from Spain.
guess that's a good sign.
I HAVE learnt my lesson though and will be starting an MA from OZ in July. |
