What will I learn?

The Department of Linguistics is unique in the Faculty of Arts in offering the degree of Master of Science. Students entering the MSc can choose from one of two options: the course-based or the thesis-based MSc. Both programs require the completion of two mandatory courses, LING 601 - Phonology I and 602 - Seminar in Syntax, as well as a set number of electives, chosen in conjunction with the student's supervisor. These elective courses will depend on the student's individual background and interests however, the Department recommends that entering MSc students consider taking LING 501 - Research Project Seminar. Students should consult with their supervisor, or the Associate Chair - Graduate, before selecting courses. MSc students have the option of switching from one option to the other, e.g., from thesis-based to course-based or vice versa, during their programs and should consult with their supervisor or the Associate Chair - Graduate, before doing so.
