Masters Degree Description

The Linguistics MA aims to give students a thorough grounding in modern theoretical linguistics. Students gain a basic understanding of the three core areas of linguistics: phonetics and phonology, syntax, and semantics and pragmatics. They are then able to tailor the programme to meet their personal linguistic interests.

Entry Requirements

Normally a minimum of a second-class Bachelor's degree from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard is required.
