Distinctive features: - The opportunity to gain a strong foundation in research activities as well as an excellent understanding of the varied nature of the discipline. While most MAs with a similar title focus specifically on language teaching, this course allows you to engage with a much wider range of methodological approaches besides language acquisition and teaching, such as discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, corpus linguistics and forensic linguistics. - Teaching by members of Cardiff’s Centre for Language and Communication Research, which has an international reputation as a field leader in sociolinguistics, professional and critical discourse analysis, multimodal communication, language acquisition and loss, systemic functional linguistics, forensic linguistics, corpus linguistics and formulaic language. The MA in Applied Linguistics builds on these strengths to provide a cohesive and yet wide-ranging degree.

You will be required to have a relevant four year Bakalavr bachelor's degree from a recognised institution, with grades of approximately 80% or above to be considered for our postgraduate taught courses. If your bachelor's degree is marked out of a GPA of 5.0, you will be required to have an average of at least 4.0.
