Our MA Linguistic Studies is our broadest postgraduate degree, offering you the widest choice of options. You expand your knowledge of language through studying everything from syntax to computer-assisted language-learning, to language and gender, to language disorders, to multilingualism.
You build a programme best suited to your individual needs. This course is ideal if you need to study on a part-time basis and wish to fit your course choices in with your existing commitments, as you can also study on an accumulation basis over a period of up to five years.
Your future
Our course can lead to careers in areas such as academic research, publishing, journalism, administration, public service, and teaching. You develop key employability skills including research design, data analysis, thinking analytically, report writing and public speaking.
