Graduate Diploma in TESOL
The Graduate Diploma in TESOL provides graduates with a professional qualification for teaching English to speakers of other languages.
TESOL at UWS is offered at the Bankstown campus, one of the most culturally and linguistically diverse regions of Australia. UWS TESOL values bi- and multilingualism, with our staff having extensive experience and expertise in the fields of TESOL, linguistics and languages. The School of Humanities and Communication Arts works closely with other language teaching providers in Sydney to organise internship placements, access current industry trends, resources and expertise in teaching methodology, and to identify resources and trends in the field.
The new UWS internship program leads the field in connecting students with language teaching providers in Sydney. A TESOL qualification is a means of combining work and travel opportunities, with employment opportunities readily available in Australia and other countries.
The Graduate Diploma in TESOL equips you with an internationally valued skill set, enabling you to communicate and exchange ideas with people of diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, and to learn more about other cultures and languages.
Career Opportunities
With a Graduate Diploma in TESOL you can find employment in Australia in a range of private and government settings.
If you seek employment overseas you will find opportunities readily available, given that countries such as China, Japan and Chile have bilingual policies in place. Opportunities are also plentiful in Asia, Africa, South America, the Middle East and Europe.
