The MA provides diverse study options. You can choose between research-based and taught programs, with durations of one year or 18 months based on your qualifications, across over 40 academic disciplines. Your prior education might allow you to explore a field different from your previous focus. The research master's program lets you make meaningful contributions to your chosen discipline through an extensive research project guided by New Zealand's top academics. For taught master's students, you'll gain specialized knowledge through intimate class settings, direct engagement with faculty, and a modest research component. The program also offers in-depth language studies covering: Formal and functional syntax, Phonology, Historical linguistics, Language contact, Semantics, Pragmatics, and Sociolinguistics
