The English Language program offers concentrations in linguistic history and structure, discourse and genre studies, as well as rhetoric's historical development and theoretical foundations. Language program faculty instruct and guide research across diverse areas including descriptive and historical linguistics, cognitive approaches to language, functional grammar, meaning studies, language use analysis, stylistic examination, genre research, and rhetorical theory. Literature program students may enroll in Language graduate classes, with recent options covering topics like reported speech's genre-crossing rhetorical flexibility, applying classical rhetoric to modern criticism, and literary language analysis through cognitive frameworks. Similarly, Language students can explore the extensive selection of Literature courses available within our department.

Qualification Requirements
UBC welcomes applications for admission from outstanding students from all countries. Students from most English-language universities may apply directly to the PhD program after completing an MA in their own country. However, because of differences in language and university instruction, it is UBC policy that students from some universities will be considered only for MA studies at UBC after completing an honours BA and MA in their own country, both with first-class standing.
Applicants to either the MA or the PhD programs from a university outside Canada in which English is not the primary language of instruction must provide results of an English language proficiency examination as part of the application. This requirement is in place in order to provide evidence of English abilities to the Admission Committee and in order to be competitive in our program. Near-native fluency is required for admittance to our program.
TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) The graduate program in English requires a minimum test score of 104 (web-based).
IELTS (International English Language Testing Service) The graduate program in English requires applicants achieve a minimum score of 7.5 with no component less than 7.0 for consideration.
