The Master of General and Applied Linguistics at the Australian National University is a 1.5-year graduate program exploring the diverse landscape of language science and its practical applications. As language assumes ever greater importance in an interconnected, multilingual world, the program covers structural linguistics, sociolinguistics, language acquisition, language contact, language teaching, language and culture, social interaction, forensic linguistics, and language documentation. Students complete 72 units comprising core linguistic theory courses, research methods in both qualitative and quantitative approaches, disciplinary electives drawn from thematic areas, and a guided research project.
