  • Academic title MA (Res) Applied Linguisitcs
  • Course description The MA (Res) in Applied Linguistics provides students with a background
    in applied linguistics, especially the areas with which they will be
    concerned in their doctoral research. It also offers all students
    extensive training in research methods in the social sciences generally
    as well as in applied linguistics. It provides a wide range of
    transferable skills relevant to language research, communication skills
    and project management. The degree involves a mandatory research
    training module, worth 30 credits, 2 option modules of 30 credits each,
    as well as a 20,000 word dissertation module, which is worth 90 credits.

    Once a UK or EU student has taken the MA (Res), she or he is eligible to
    apply for an ESRC or AHRC studentship. The University of Reading also
    offers studentships to those intending to apply to the ESRC, AHRC or ORS
    schemes.

    Students typically have higher qualifications (a BA at a good Upper
    Second or First Class level or equivalent, or a Masters) in a language-
    or linguistics-related area, such as English language, psychology or
    linguistics. Most students intend to go on to do research.

    The MA (Res) in Applied Linguistics does not presuppose strong subject-specific knowledge, but aims to help students achieve this by the end of the programme.
