Course Description

MA Bilingualism and Multilingualism

Bilingualism and Multilingualism (MA) is a unique postgraduate qualification offered through distance learning provision, being the first degree of its kind offered in Europe and part of the University's mission to contribute to the range of initiatives in the field of language planning and bilingual/multilingual development, both in Wales and elsewhere.

Jobs & Career Perspectives

15 months after graduation, graduates of this course were asked about what they do and, if they are working, about their current job and their perspectives.

A range of assessment methods are adopted in order to enable students to illustrate their knowledge and skills in relation to learning outcomes, including: written assignments presentations (adapted for distance learning purposes) extended essays. Assessment methods are adopted on the basis of their appropriateness for ensuring that students can show that they have achieved the learning outcomes which are explicit in every module and on which the assessment criteria are based.

Entry Requirements / Admissions

Get advice on which foundation courses are best for you to still study Bilingualism and Multilingualism, MA (PG), if you do not meet the minimum requirements in terms of UCAS score, A levels, or English language requirements.

The School adheres to the University's guidelines on required academic qualifications as specified in the Academic Quality Handbook. Postgraduate students are normally required to have attained an initial degree awarded by a university or an approved-degree awarding body. However, these guidelines also allow non-standard applications from students who may not conform to the academic requirements of the orthodox method of entry. The School is, therefore, able to consider applications from mature students who may have relevant experience and/or qualifications other than those outlined above.

International students whose mother-tongue is not English applying for study at postgraduate level will normally be required to show evidence of sufficient command of the English language in order to be able to follow their course, undertake research, and produce writing without major linguistic difficulties. Such evidence is usually the Cambridge Advanced or Proficiency Certificate, IELTS minimum score of 6.5, TOEFL minimum score of 575, or TOEIC minimum score of 700.

Following the receipt and scrutiny of applications by the Head of School and the Program Director, all eligible applicants are invited for interview. Distance learning students from abroad, are interviewed by Skype or telephone and under the same rigorous conditions as those interviewed at the University.
