Is anyone else starting the Birm Uni TESOL MA this October? I thought it might be nice to have someone to share experiences with. |

I am doing the MA in ELT at the University of Sussex. I wonder if there is anyone here doing it as well. |

It will be on the way soon. If you want to see the most recent one (April 2010) then I can email it to you. Bham updates the handbook twice a year and you have to use the current version for assignments. |

How much does it cost? How long does it take to complete? |

2.2 million in 6 installements (I think - it's been a while) and takes from 2 and a half to 6 years to complete. |

Actually, my first installment was only 1.4 million. The price structure changed because they aren't going through a Korean campus anymore. You pay directly to Birmingham, 800 pounds every time. |

I heard about that a while back but was told that they are still debating it. Great that it's done now and it's cheaper for you! Great value for money. |

thanks for the offer to send it. I received it a couple of days ago. Are you guys doing the TESOL or Applied Linguistics? I'll be doing Applied Linguistics. Anyone else doing the same? I noticed from the handbook that the module order is totally different to the TESOL course. |

I know it's a little too late now, but mind posting a link for more information on their TESOL program? I have a B.A. in TESOL and after 10 years of teach'n it's 'bout time I got off my rear and get my M.A.
Thanks! |
