3.1 How do I apply?
There are two (2) steps in applying for admission to the MA in Applied Linguistics:
Step 1: Complete the appropriate online admissions form. Which form you require depends on your citizenship status. Follow one of the two links below:
Online application form for Australian or New Zealand citizens
Online application form for International Students
(only for Non-Australian/New Zealand citizens)
When you click on 'Submit' the form will be sent to either the Student Centre (for Australia/New Zealand Citizens), or to the International Office (for International students). You will receive an automated response telling you that the form has been received, along with an estimate of the time when you will be notified of the result of your application. Once your application is approved, you will receive an enrolment package by hard copy mail which contains all the information you need.
Step 2: If you meet the qualifying criteria, you will receive a letter of offer of admission to the program and a registration form. On the registration form you select which units (or courses) you wish to enrol in. As part of the registration process you will be asked to provide relevant documentation, such as transcripts of your prior degree, or (if necessary) documents which indicate your language proficiency.
3.2 How can I get an application package?
The simplest way to apply is to use the appropriate online form. However, if you'd like more information or to have an application form mailed to you, please lodge a request through AskUNE.
3.3 Can I apply online?
Yes – there is an online application form, as detailed above.
3.4 What do I need to send for application and registration?
If you complete the appropriate online application form (see above), and are accepted, you will need to provide transcripts and other indicated documents as requested in your offer letter. Please contact the UNE Student Centre, for more information.
3.5 The registration form refers to an “exam center code” - what's that?
There are no formal exams in our Master of Arts (Applied Linguistics). This code is irrelevant to us, so just leave this blank or write n/a.
3.6 When is the deadline for applications?
Applications can be submitted at any time. However in order to have completed the registration and enrolment process in time for a particular semester, these deadlines apply:
- For 1st Semester (Feb-June) you need to apply by November 30.
- For 2nd Semester (July-Nov) you need to apply by May 31.
The UNE Student Centre will still try and process late applications - so it might be worth trying if you've just missed out, but we can make no promises.
