Course description
Our MA Linguistics master's course is a flexible programme that aims to explore the breadth and the depth of linguistics.
Aims
We aim to:
give you an excellent teaching and learning experience at an advanced level, in an environment that is also home to world-leading research in Linguistics.
Teaching and learning
You will learn through a variety of teaching methods.
Course units are typically taught as seminars combining content-delivery with discussion and application, or as a combination of separate lectures and seminars. Many units also have practical tutorials that will help you prepare for individual research projects.
The aim across all teaching forms is to create the opportunity for intensive scholarly work, with areas of focus determined by students and your individual interests, which can be investigated in considerable depth.
Career opportunities
Studying Linguistics will equip you with a range of sought-after transferable skills, including written and oral communication skills, computing skills, intercultural awareness and research methods.
This course will also develop skills that will be useful in undertaking postgraduate research.
Career destinations for our graduates include language teaching, language policy, speech and language therapy, publishing and communications.
Students can also achieve PGDip award.
We normally expect students to have a First or Upper Second class honours degree or its overseas equivalent, typically in a subject relevant to Linguistics or in Linguistics. If your previous undergraduate experience is unrelated to Linguistics, the application form includes a personal statement section in which you can demonstrate your knowledge of and interest in the subject.
