This MA program delves into the study of language as it's used across diverse real-world settings, including education, politics, and broader societal contexts. The program maintains a distinctly international perspective, offering both practical opportunities like potential overseas study semesters and advanced language courses in English as a Foreign Language, French, German, and Spanish. The curriculum also incorporates theoretical approaches that align with faculty research on language and globalization.
The Graduate Diploma/Master of Arts in Applied Linguistics (International) is a full-time, one-year program combining classroom instruction with independent study and research. It examines language application across multiple real-world domains such as education, politics, and society. With its global orientation, the program provides practical components including potential international study terms and upper-level language courses in English as a Foreign Language, French, German, and Spanish (availability may vary annually), alongside theoretical frameworks that mirror faculty expertise in language and globalization studies.
