 A program created especially for people interested in teaching English as a second language is the Diploma in Education TESL. The program's goal is to produce qualified graduates with professional expertise and outstanding TESL teaching abilities.

Students will also discover relevant ways to teach by combining a variety of learning strategies and evaluations, such as seminars, peer language teaching observations, and experimental teaching sessions.
