Applicants with at least a four-year honours degree with a grade of H2 or H2A, or the equivalent, and who have appropriate training in linguistics, can normally be admitted directly. Candidates who do not satisfy these entry requirements may be admitted after successfully completing the masters qualifying program with a research component with an overall grade of H2 or H2A and a grade of distinction or above for the research component.
The
research degree can be undertaken by thesis alone (100%) or by coursework
combined with research (66%). Candidates undertaking the degree by 66% research
are required to complete a thesis of 20,000 to 25,000 words and complete two
12-point units from the school's level five.
The unit ALM5150 (Research design in applied linguistics), which will continue
to be offered both on-campus at Clayton and by off-campus learning, may be a very
appropriate way for students to satisfy part of this requirement. In addition,
domestic students may take any other level-five linguistics unit. These are
increasingly offered only by off-campus learning; refer to ALM unit listings for
details.
International students seeking to undertake the Master of Arts in Linguistics
by coursework and research will normally take the following on-campus units:
Candidates undertaking a 66% MA in Applied Linguistics will normally enrol for either both or only one of the coursework unit on the Clayton campus and may then apply for transfer to external candidature.
The minimum pass grade for units in the Master of Arts is 60 C, ie a grade of credit or above is required in the thesis and in any coursework unit taken.
