MA Courses

We do not yet offer an integrated MA in Language and Linguistics (though it is hoped this will be available from 2010: watch this space!). However, there are a significant number of Masters courses (including research-track MAs) that allow students to pursue interdisciplinary and/or comparative issues in linguistics. Each of these courses approaches linguistic issues from a slightly different perspective: at the same time, the availability of shared modules, as well as the possibility of co-supervision (in certain cases), allows MA students to develop interdisciplinary dissertation topics.


Below is a list of current courses offered by member departments. Please note that the Research Track MA in Language Acquisition will be offered in 2009-2010 after all: students interested in theoretical aspects of language acquisition and learning are warmly encouraged to apply even at this late stage.
