It is designed especially for those working in the field of English as a second/foreign language and has modules in language description, in pedagogy and in specialist-related fields with this audience in mind. The distance based study is the equivalent of the campus-based version in content and assessment. Students may choose to study some modules on campus, some by distance study.
