About the course

The MA in Linguistics will give you an in-depth theoretical and methodological grounding in linguistics and phonetics – analysing how language and speech sounds are structured and used. Core modules will introduce you to key aspects of the discipline, such as syntax, phonetics and phonology. You will also develop your knowledge of a broad range of theoretical and empirical research methods. You will then choose from optional modules to suit your interests or career plans, such as language acquisition or discourse studies. You will be trained to carry out sound research and complete a final dissertation based on original work, under the guidance of a personal supervisor. Spanning the arts and sciences, linguistics is a challenging and rewarding discipline that allows you to gain a real understanding of human communication as well as a wide range of transferable skills. Taught by experts in top-class facilities and supported by the Language at Leeds research network, this programme will give you a good foundation in the subject informed by the very latest research.
