An MPhil and PhD in Applied Linguistics are offered in the School of Language Studies and Applied Linguistics.

Why Applied Linguistics?

We have:

• a major emphasis on critical qualitative research into social and cultural issues in language education and intercultural communication, and also interest in grammar, discourse and pragmatics
• a small friendly community of about ten full-time and twelve part-time students
• a strong pastoral ethos, where full-time students can see their supervisors regularly and part-time students can have regular email contact.
