📖Program Curriculum
Our Masters in English Language and Linguistics can be taken as a full-time or part-time programme and is designed to cover the foundations of linguistic study as well as offer the opportunity to specialise in options representing a wide range of linguistic specialisms. In the first semester you will take a core module (Linguistic Structures) which will equip you with the foundational skills of Linguistics (Phonology and Syntax). These skills will then be applied and developed in option modules taken alongside the core module and in the second semester. The third semester will be spent researching and writing the dissertation – an original and sustained piece of work in an area of linguistics of your choosing.
