Study Details: MA 1 year full-time, 2 years part-time
The English Language and Linguistics MA explores the linguistic features of English from theoretical, applied, synchronic and diachronic perspectives. Our course will enable you to understand and evaluate critically a wide spectrum of ideas in the study of the English language, particularly in connection with linguistic variation in terms of space, time, communicative context and linguistic contact. It will also equip you with the intellectual perspectives and scholarly skills to conduct independent research.
The MA is for you if you’ve taken English language and/or linguistics modules at undergraduate level, or if you’ve studied allied disciplines such as psychology, philosophy or TESOL. It’s of particular interest if you’re wishing to pursue further study, or if you’re teaching English and wish to gain a further qualification and investigate current developments in the field.
A minimum of a lower second class honours degree (2:2) in a relevant discipline including English language, linguistics or TESOL.
If your first language is not English, you should have an IELTS 6.5 with at least 6.5 in writing and no element below 6.0.
Applicants are required to submit one academic or professional reference.
