MA by Research in Languages, Cultures and Societies - Linguistics and Phonetics in Leeds United Kingdom | University of Leeds

Through the MA by Research (MAR) program, you'll undertake an independent research project that offers comprehensive insight into your selected field. You'll receive guidance from a team of academic supervisors, recognized as top experts in your discipline, participate in research training workshops, and maintain scheduled consultations with your advisors. The MAR serves as excellent preparation for PhD studies, as it focuses solely on research without formal coursework. As a premier UK institution for language and cultural studies, we provide diverse MA by Research options.

Similar to other UK universities, the University of Leeds established its standalone Linguistics department in the 1970s, following decades of linguistics instruction within the English School and language departments. The department rapidly grew and combined with the long-standing Phonetics department to deliver degree programs and research opportunities that equip students and emerging scholars with rigorous training in the scientific analysis of language and speech.
