Apply NowOur Single Honours BA in History and TESOL at Aberystwyth University offers the opportunity to study a varied and comprehensive curriculum of history over a long sweep of chronological time in combination with a thorough introduction to the discipline of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). You will study history from the medieval period through to the late modern world, and in a variety of different forms of historical inquiry, and will learn the skills that are needed by historians, such as assessing primary sources, mastering secondary works and formulating historical analyses of past societies, whilst developing a variety of communication skills which will complement the TESOL components of the scheme and help prepare you to teach English to speakers of other languages.
In the summer of your second year the optional Teaching Practice unit hones these practical skills and leads to the award of the Certificate in TESOL.
The year spent studying abroad will be your chance to take advantage of a wealth of opportunities to immerse yourself in the cultural richness of the community of your chosen destination, and to make new friends while you're at it. The time spent abroad is an extra opportunity to develop confidence and enhance your transferable skills. This will make you very attractive to future employers.
If you think this is the course for you, come to Aberystwyth University and let your adventure begin.
