Master of Arts in Applied Linguistics (International)

Program Overview

The Graduate Diploma/Master of Arts in Applied Linguistics (International) is a one-year taught programme and is offered on a full-time basis using a combination of faculty-student contact hours and self-directed learning and research. Applied linguistics is about studying and understanding language in real world situations and using language to solve problems in society. The programme in UL builds on strengths in specific real- world domains of language, e.g. technology, media, education and pedagogy, language policy, and language for specific purposes, as well as expertise in applied sociolinguistics which helps to understand language in use in different contexts and cultures. Core modules focus on Applied Linguistics, Technology and Research Methodologies in Language Studies, while in elective modules students can choose from a variety of options in domains (e.g. organisations, journalism), applied sociolinguistics (e.g. pragmatics, variationism), intercultural communication (e.g. translation, Irish-German relations), or education / pedagogy (e.g. ). Students also have the option to complete their spring semester at one of our partner universities. The summer semester is focussed on completing either an internship (praxis) or a research dissertation.
