| The Department of Linguistics offers graduate programs in linguistics leading to the degrees of Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy. The Department maintains extensive laboratory and computer facilities for a wide range of research in experimental phonetics and phonology; psycholinguistics and quantitative linguistics; corpus linguistics; cognitive linguistics; acquisition and bilingualism; field linguistics and language documentation; typology and language variation.
The course-based MSc project is a paper of professional quality reporting the results of a guided research project in the Supervisor’s area of specialization that preferably, but not necessarily, makes an original contribution to knowledge. The MSc project is evaluated by the student’s Supervisor and a second reader (the second reader may be a faculty member from Linguistics or from another department). A thesis-based MSc in our Department requires the completion of 21 credits (7 courses) of coursework, typically completed over the course of four semesters (two years). These credits include the two required courses (LING 601, 602), as well as 5 elective courses, selected by student in conjunction with the Supervisor. In addition, the student is required to write and defend a Masters thesis.
