The MPhil/PhD in Applied Linguistics by Thesis and Coursework
provides a broader background in Applied Linguistics than the
traditional PhD. Unlike traditional PhD study, this programme is
designed so that you can study mainly from home, and so do not
have to leave your job.
You start with a package of relevant, compulsory courses in Applied
Linguistics and Research Methods courses and at the same time
begin work on your own research project, which leads to a thesis. In
Years 1 and 2 you attend a series of four brief, intensive residentials
in Lancaster for courses, resource consultation, supervision and other
academic support. You are also supported via email and other forms
of communication. You will be assigned a supervisor right from the
start. The degree of PhD is awarded solely on the basis of the thesis.
RESEARCH FACILITIES
The University Library contains one of the best holdings in Linguistics
in the country. There is a computer and phonetics laboratory and
we also have our own specialist computer laboratories for teaching
