Linguistics Masters Courses

A list of institutions which have taught postgraduate programmes specifically in linguistics. Please get in touch if you would like any further information.

This list doesn’t include programmes solely in English Language, Computational Linguistics, or Speech & Language Therapy – only those where linguistics is in the name or which focus on a core subfield of theoretical linguistics.

Please contact us if you have a programme to add to or remove from the list.
