A masters degree in applied linguistics is an arts masters degree program that entails theory and research of linguistics.
The program is wide and also encompasses the practical problems and solutions offered by use of linguistics in the society.
You'll graduate with an expert knowledge of contemporary linguistic theories and their application in a wider cultural context – including both generative and cognitive approaches to linguistic description, as well as the contexts in which these theories operate.
Linguistics, the systematic study of human language, provides a strong foundation for working in speech pathology, education, journalism, law, artificial intelligence and computer-mediated language learning, among other fields.
