Program Requirements

The Master of Applied Linguistics requires the completion of 48 units of coursework (8 x 6 unit courses). Each student must take at a mimumum 24 units (4 x 6 units) of CORE courses. Other courses can be taken from the list of CORE courses or the list of ELECTIVE courses.

Courses from another program, as relevant to the student's program of study may also be chosen following permission from the program convenor.  Under special circumstances, the convenor may approve the substitution of an ELECTIVE course for a CORE course. Students may take postgraduate courses in TESOL from other tertiary institutions, and have them count towards the Master of Applied Linguistics with the convenor's permission.

Students who successfully complete the Master of Applied Linguistics with a minimum average of 70%, can undertake an additional semester (24 units), writing a sub-thesis, leading to the Master of Applied Linguistics (Research) (72 units). Such students should ensure that they do not graduate from the Master of Applied Linguistics.  Instead, they will roll over their program into the Master of Applied Linguistics (Research).
