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.

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!
