Course summary

Newcastle University is one of the largest centres for linguistic research in Europe. This gives you the unique opportunity to learn a wide range of methodologies as part of our Linguistics or Applied Linguistics course. You will be exposed to diverse theoretical perspectives, which will enrich your own research. Linguistics and Applied Linguistics are split across three Schools:

  • School of Education, Communication and Language Sciences
  • School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics
  • School of Modern Languages
Our supervisors' current research interests, projects and publications are available from our staff profiles in each of these Schools. We offer supervision in the following areas:
  • Linguistic Theory
  • Language Variation and change
  • Language evolution, acquisition and development


Entry requirements

A 2:1 honours degree or above, or international equivalent. We also usually expect a master’s degree, or international equivalent, at merit or above in a related field. We especially encourage applications from students who feel they may face specific barriers in accessing higher education or who belong to groups who are under-represented in UK Higher Education. These include, but are not limited to, first-generation students, applicants from minoritised ethnic groups, applicants returning to full-time education after a break, applicants with caring responsibilities, or applicants with disabilities. The School is committed to supporting you. If you would like to discuss how we can do so, please contact the Postgraduate Research Director, Professor Michael Rossington: [email protected]
