This degree deals with applications of linguistics to professional and social
contexts in which language plays a crucial role. Current offerings are particularly
suited to teachers of English as a mother tongue, English as a second or foreign
language and languages other than English, generalist primary school teachers,
and those concerned with multicultural and language policies. Other applications
of linguistics (for example in the media, business and industry) are also dealt
with. The course is normally undertaken in one year of full-time or two years
of part-time study.
Applicants should hold an appropriate honours degree (normally in linguistics) with a grade of H2B or above, or the equivalent. Applicants who have completed the equivalent of the masters qualifying program or postgraduate diploma program with a credit average may also be admitted directly to the MA.
Students
are required to take four 12-point level-five units from the list below
totalling 48 points. It should be noted that students may not take a unit which
they have already taken at level four. The modes in which each unit is offered
are indicated with the detailed entry for each unit. Students who elect to take
a research project or special topic should note that the topic is subject to
approval of the section.
ALM5410 and ALM5460 are taken on campus at Clayton; ALM5150 can be taken either
on campus at Clayton or by off-campus distributed learning; other units are
normally offered only by Off-campus distributed learning. Refer to ALM unit

In exceptional
circumstances, students may be permitted to take no more than two units
relating closely to linguistics offered by another section or faculty.
The minimum pass grade for units in the Master of Arts is 60 C, ie a grade of
credit or above is required in every unit (including any research project or
special topic).
