Master of Science in Linguistics

Program Overview

Based within the School of Communication & Media, the programme is distinctive in its breadth, offering modules in core theoretical generative linguistics as well as modules in conversation and discourse analysis with special focus on the study of English. The programme team includes experts in the various areas of linguistic research with PhDs from top universities in the world. The members of the team are all actively involved in research on a variety of topics. Language acquisition and multilingualism are core overlapping research interests of the group as a whole. The team also benefits from links to research groups in other universities in the UK, EU and US and holds a series of research seminars which bring in speakers from around the world. The programme team has strong links within the university with speech and language therapy, psychology, education and computing, and several of the team members are involved in research across these disciplines.

The programme will thus be particularly relevant to:

  • Students with an undergraduate background in language and linguistics who are interested in progressing to a Masters and/or PhD level;
  • Students with an interest in the theoretical study of the English language and human language more generally;
  • Teachers of English as a Foreign Language who wish to gain a Masters level qualification for career development and enhancement;
  • Language professionals, such as speech and language therapists, who wish to specialise in theoretical linguistics and develop their analytical and research skills in language and linguistics
