The structure consists of 140 credit points of core subjects that form the foundation of the program, ensuring students develop strong theoretical knowledge and practical skills in both TESOL and translation. These core studies focus on areas such as language teaching methodology, applied linguistics, intercultural communication, translation theory, and professional language practice, preparing students for real-world roles in education and language services. In addition to the core component, students complete 20 credit points of alternate subjects, divided into Group 1 and Group 2 (10 credit points each), allowing some flexibility to broaden or deepen their learning in specialised areas of interest. This structure ensures a balance between comprehensive core training and limited elective choice.

It also provides pathways towards professional recognition, including eligibility for translation certification through relevant accreditation bodies. Overall, the program equips students with strong linguistic, pedagogical, and professional skills, enabling them to work effectively in global education settings, language services, and cross-cultural communication environments while maintaining high professional standards.
