Bilingualism and Multilingualism (MA) is an unique postgraduate qualification offered through distance learning provision, being the first degree of its kind offered in Europe and part of the University’s mission to contribute to the range of initiatives in the field of language planning and bilingual/ multilingual development, both in Wales and elsewhere.

What you will learn

The programme aims to:

provide students with various aspects of bilingualism and multilingualism, both in Wales and in international contexts;

develop students’ ability to critically analyse the various factors involved in the study of bilingualism/ multilingualism and to relate those factors to national and international contexts;

equip students for various vocations involved with bilingualism/ multilingualism and enable them to apply basic principles, together with knowledge, understanding and subject-based skills, to their daily vocational needs;

introduce students to the most relevant research and thinking in the field which forms the basis for the most recent theories and learning;

develop students’ transferable skills and enable them to research, interpret and critically evaluate;

develop students’ cognitive skills including their ability to reason, to critically analyse, as well as to think creatively in appraising any current policies in the field of bilingualism/ multilingualism and to propose improvements.

The programme will focus on various aspects of bilingualism and language planning relevant to a range of professional and vocational posts in order to extend and deepen knowledge, understanding and skills in specific fields. The professional/ vocational skills related to this programme will enable students to:

rise to the challenge which faces individuals in the field of bilingualism / multilingualism and language planning;

undertake projects concerned with various aspects in the field;

undertake individual and team research to promote linguistic plans and strategies;

analyse and interpret data concerned with various developments;

exhibit proficiency in the use of ICT in presentations and in communication.

Students are given an opportunity, when geographically convenient, to attend national and international conferences on bilingualism and language planning.

The advantage of the MA Bilingualism and Multilingualism to students is the flexibility which allows them to gain the necessary knowledge and skills through distance learning, by studying part-time or full-time and with the assistance of technology and the reading materials provided.

Entry requirements

The admission arrangements are overseen by the Admissions Tutor and the Programme Manager. The Institute of Education and Humanities adheres to the University’s guidelines on required academic qualifications as specified in the Academic Quality Handbook. Postgraduate students are normally required to have attained an initial degree awarded by a university or an approved-degree awarding body. However, these guidelines also allow non-standard applications from students who may not conform to the academic requirements of the orthodox method of entry. We are, therefore, able to consider applications from mature students who may have relevant experience and/ or qualifications other than those outlined above.
