Program details
Overview
The Linguistics MA at Western University, offered through the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, is an interdisciplinary program built around close ties with related fields, including anthropology, information science, communication disorders, language teaching, and philosophy and psychology. Completed over six terms of full-time study, the project-based program develops advanced skills in linguistic theory and analysis while allowing students to draw methods and frameworks from these connected disciplines. The program does not admit applicants whose primary interest lies in Language Teaching (ESL), Translation, Teaching Methodology, or Applied Linguistics unconnected to linguistic theory, keeping its focus firmly on theoretical and descriptive linguistics. Graduates are prepared for further doctoral study in linguistics or for research and analytical roles in fields that draw on language science, such as communication disorders, language technology, and cognitive science.
