Admissions Information
Entry Requirements
All participants need to be experienced practitioners. In addition, the modules are normally open to students with at least an upper second-class degree. We will, however, also consider applications from non-graduates who can show us evidence of intellectual achievement in their work as teachers. Overseas students should also have demonstrated a proficiency in English: those whose first language is not English will need to have a TOEFL score of 580 (written) or 237 (computer-based) or an IELTS score of 6.5.
You will need to have regular access to a computer with a reliable connection to the Internet. It is recommended that your computer should have as a minimum, an operating system of Windows 95, and an Internet browser such as Internet Explorer version 5.5 or Firefox 1.0.6 and support 128-bit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encrypted. Most participants that register on modules do have some knowledge of e-mail and the internet, however, no other knowledge if assumed, support and training will be given at all stages.
