Program details

Overview

The Master of Arts in Linguistics at Memorial University is delivered on campus in St. John's and can be completed through either a coursework-and-thesis route or a coursework-and-research-project route, both normally finished within two years of full-time study. The program builds a foundation in core theoretical areas such as phonology, syntax, and morphology, with research specializations available in first- and second-language acquisition, speech disorders, phonetics, Indigenous languages including Cree, Inuktitut, and Algonquian languages, and varieties of English and French. Applicants normally need an undergraduate background in linguistics, though conditional admission with additional undergraduate coursework may be available to those without it. The program suits students drawn to data-driven, theoretically grounded study of language who are considering research, further graduate study, or careers such as linguistic consulting, editing, or translation.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission normally requires a bachelor's degree in Linguistics (or equivalent). Conditional admission may be offered to applicants without a Linguistics bachelor's degree, subject to successful completion of designated undergraduate courses. Application deadline: January 31 for Fall admission.
