Course Structure
The Master of Arts in Linguistics is taken over two years. It consists of 55 credits and 880 hours. Students can choose to complete the degree in two ways, by thesis or by examination. Students choosing to complete their degree by thesis attend classes to the value of 40 credits, providing them with advanced knowledge of linguistics. During their final year, they also complete an original thesis under the supervision of a linguistics professor, which is worth 15 credits. Those choosing to complete their Masters by examination do not write a thesis. Instead, they attend additional classes to the value of 15 credits, and sit a final examination for each class.
