Career Opportunities
Each unit on our MA Applied Linguistics is designed with professional practice in mind. As such, you will develop and be assessed in both transferable technical and soft skills, which will enhance your employability upon graduation. For example, our specialist TESOL route is specifically designed to expose you to practice and career development within English language teaching. Units within this specialist route enable you to embed professional and research-informed practice in your assessments, which you are encouraged to apply to the classroom/education context in your career. A specific example of this employability focus is in the form of the Final Independent Project; CELTA/Trinity Cert qualified students can choose to engage in either a traditional research-focused dissertation or to develop a portfolio of teaching practice observations, reflection and analyses alongside a short investigation on an agreed topic. There are opportunities every year within the Department’s Language Centre for you to build on your teaching experience and develop as a practitioner. We also have close industry links with local language schools that often look to hire our graduates.

Other specialist routes also have a similar employability focus in the curriculum, with a direct application of analytical and critical skills to the use of language in various professional contexts. These units encourage direct application of theory and research to the world, including the world of work. Specific examples of direct application include the Discourse Analysis unit, which focuses on language use in media contexts (i.e. mass media; social media), and Language and the Law, which focuses on language used in legal contexts.

The Personal Tutoring system will be embedded into the MA Applied Linguistics programme to ensure that you analyse the opportunities available to you, recognising your developing skillsets and mapping you to career possibilities.
