    Applied Linguistics

    About

    To gain the MA award you will study:

    • Investigating Language Systems
    • Discourse, Pragmatics and Sociolinguistics
    • Contemporary Topics in Applied Linguistics
    • Language Acquisition
    • Research Methods
    • Professional Practice

    In the final trimester, with the support and guidance of an individual supervisor, you will write a 15,000-word dissertation on a topic of your choice in the field of Applied Linguistics.

    An MA in Applied Linguistics is the best way to develop a deeper understanding of the many ways in which languages work and the many different fields to which the practical study of languages can be applied. Although the programme focuses on the English language, its theoretical and practical insights can be equally applied to other languages.
