Student Destinations

Although the degree can be an end in itself, this advanced programme is an excellent preparation for independent doctoral research in phonology. Graduates from our specialisation MA programmes in linguistics have a very strong track record of securing funded doctoral studentships and have in recent years gone on to research at UCL and other global universities. Recent graduates have also gone on to work in the health and social care sectors with 75% of our graduates in work or further study within 15 months of completing their studies (Graduate Outcomes Survey 2022/2023).
