General information

Course code: 1988 + Course fees: Local students -- HECS + Coordinator: Anna Margetts
This program is intended for students who are able to undertake a research project as part of their level-four studies. This option can act as a preparation for entry to a research degree.

Entry requirements

Applicants should hold at least a pass bachelors degree with a major sequence in linguistics or a major sequence in English or another language, with results at least at credit standard in the third part of the major sequence.

Course structure

The program is normally undertaken in one year of full-time or two years of part-time study. Students will take three level-four units and a research project (the latter normally in the second semester or for part-time students in the second year). The research project is taken on campus at Clayton; ALM4150 can be taken either on campus at Clayton or by off-campus distributed learning; the other units are now offered only by Off-campus distributed learning. The research project topic is subject to approval.
This masters qualifying program in applied linguistics consists of the 12-point ALM4190 (Research project) and three of the following level four units (48 points in total).

Students may substitute an approved unit from another section or faculty for one of the above units.
Students require a qualifying grade of H2A and a grade of distinction or above for the research component to progress to the MA in Linguistics by research (with or without coursework), or directly to PhD.
