Postgraduate Studies in Linguistics
There is a range of postgraduate study options in Linguistics - brief information is provided on these below. All of them are available in the external mode as well as on campus.
The MA in Applied Linguistics is an on-line degree designed for language educators and others with a professional interest in language.
Graduate Diploma
For graduates who did not have the opportunity to study Linguistics as part of their first degree and would now like to do so, most undergraduate units in Linguistics can be taken (with different assessment requirements) as part of The Graduate Diploma in Humanities. This can be completed in two years of full-time study (or equivalent part-time study).
Master of Arts with Honours
The MA Hons in Linguistics is a research degree, normally completed in two years of full-time study or four years of part-time study.
Doctor of Philosophy
The PhD in Linguistics is the highest academic award. It is a research degree normally completed in three years of full-time study or six years of part-time study.The minimum requirement for entry to an MA Hons and PhD program is a strong result in an Honours degree in Linguistics. Other candidates with a good background in linguistics may be able to gain entry by first doing a Preliminary program, which is normally one year of full-time study in a specially tailored program.
