Plan Outline

The MA program in Applied Linguistics (program 8225, plan code LINGBS8225) aims to provide those who work or plan to work in a language-related area (teachers of English as a second or foreign language or of a language other than English, translators and interpreters, curriculum designers, and other language professionals) with a vocationally relevant degree which will enable them to refresh and upgrade their knowledge and skills.

Applicants require a relevant undergraduate degree (normally with specialisation in Linguistics, English, or another language), with preference given to applicants with relevant work experience.

Plan Structure

Students are required to complete one core course LING5026 Introduction to Linguistic Analysis and five elective courses.

Elective Courses

MA in Applied Linguistics/Japanese or MA in Applied Linguistics/Korean
Students can specialise in Japanese or Korean within the Applied Linguistics program. In order to fulfil the requirements for an MA in Applied Linguistics with specialisation in Japanese or Korean, students must complete three LING courses plus three JAPN or three KORE courses from the list below. One of the JAPN or KORE courses can be replaced by the Special Project course LING5000 as long as Japanese or Korean data are used for the special project.
