About the course

The MA offers you a range of choices. There are research and taught degrees, one-year or 18-month options depending on your entry qualification, and more than 40 subjects for study. Your academic background may enable you to study a subject different to that of your previous specialisation. The research masters gives you an exciting opportunity to contribute to the knowledge in your field by completing a substantial research project under the supervision of some of New Zealand?s leading scholars. In a taught masters you can deepen your knowledge in small classes, enjoy interaction with academic staff, and complete a smaller research project. Applied Linguistics formulates theory and research-based solutions to real world language problems. It is an interdisciplinary field of enquiry that draws on linguistics, psycholinguistics, second language acquisition, sociolinguistics and education. We take as our starting point practical issues such as How can multilingualism be fostered in a society such as New Zealand, In what ways can classroom learners of foreign languages be motivated to learn and How can language proficiency be fairly and validly assessed and seek research-based answers. The Master of Arts in Applied Linguistics has been designed to ensure that you receive a broad coverage of the areas that inform the study of Applied Linguistics, and to also give you the opportunity to focus on a specific area of your own choice. It provides a firm theoretical and research basis for progression to study at doctoral level. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
