Good morning, I am interested in takingthe Trinity Dip. When you say it can be used as credits towards an MA in TESOL, how many credits is the Trinity Dip equivalent to? Can this be used not just in the UK, can it be used in the USA as credits twards an MA? Are there any institutions that accept this course as credits for a Masters?
Thank you for your time.
Nick.
Hi Nick,
Thanks for your interest. Yes, the Diploma counts towards many MA courses. Quite a few of our graduates have gone on toe study their MA on a distance course at Sheffield Hallam. Others have studied at other places. If you email me I can send you a document which shows how many credits the Diploma contributes towards different MA courses.
Regarding the US, we’d have to contact Trinity. It may be best to contact the places offering MA courses to see how the Diploma contributes.
Hope that helps
Nicola
