Online With Honours Degree :: Accredited Universities

Applied Linguistics is a field which explores how language functions in the world, first and second language acquisition and intercultural communication. This online degree will appeal to students without a background in Linguistics, wanting a professionally relevant higher qualification, or postgraduate qualifications in TESOL. In particular it will appeal to students who want to add to their coursework degree a further substantial research project that will make them competitive for PhD entry.

This degree is Australia's first fully online coursework Masters degree in Applied Linguistics, and is chosen by students all around the world. The MAAL with Honours is a 72 credit point degree, consisting of 48 credit points of coursework plus a 24 credit point dissertation. The standard program, consisting of 4 core units and 4 elective units chosen from a selection, plus the dissertation, leads to a Master of Applied Linguistics with Honours. The TESOL major consists of the same 4 core units, 2 TESOL units and 2 elective units chosen from a selection, and leads to the award of a Master of Applied Linguistics (TESOL) with Honours. The TESOL major includes a practicum which meets or exceeds the minimum number of hours required of teachers in the ELICOS and adult migrant sectors.

Students who complete the MAAL with Honours or MAAL (TESOL) with Honours will then be well-placed to continue to a further higher research degree, such as a PhD in Applied Linguistics, Linguistics, TESOL or allied fields.
