Course Summary

Through the MA by Research (MAR), you'll conduct an original piece of independent research that will provide you with an in-depth understanding of your chosen discipline. You'll be guided by an academic supervision team, who'll be leading experts in your field, attend research training sessions and have regular meetings with your supervisors. The MAR can be considered ideal preparation for undertaking a PhD in that it is also entirely research-based and does not (at least formally) include any taught components. As one of the UK’s leading centres for research and teaching in languages and cultures we can offer a wide variety of MA by Research opportunities.Like many UK universities, the University of Leeds gained an independent Linguistics department in the 1970s, after linguistics topics had been taught for many years in the School of English and in language departments. The Linguistics department soon expanded and merged with the much older Phonetics department to offer degrees and research programmes that give students and researchers-in-training a solid grounding in the scientific study of language and speech.
