An MA in Applied and Forensic Linguistics is the best way to develop a deeper understanding of the many ways in which language works in the legal process, as well as methods to study it. Issues of authorship identification, as well as justice, power, and interaction, relate to the practical applied study of language. Although the course focuses on the English language and the Anglo-Saxon judicial system, its theoretical and practical insights can be equally applied to other languages and systems, provided the context is studied and taken into account.
Graduates of this course will be able to pursue careers in a variety of industries, including advertising, media, publishing, education, translation, and language consultancy for a variety of professional fields. Others may use this as a way to start their own business.
Students completing this MA might also go on to undertake a Ph.D. in Applied Linguistics or a teaching qualification to take their practice into a school, FE, or HE setting.
Undergraduate degree at 2:2 or above, or equivalent qualification.
20 hours of work permit weekly for international students.
IELTS 6.5 or equivalent, with a 6.0 minimum in each paper.
