Offered by the School of Linguistics and Language Studies, the MA in Linguistics provides students with a grounding in the core areas of theoretical linguistics. It takes a uniquely interdisciplinary approach, both by focusing on the interfaces between subdomains of linguistics and by bringing in interfaces with allied fields. Most courses are taught by faculty cross-appointed in other units. Furthermore, students will be able to take graduate courses in related areas such as cognitive science, French, language acquisition, language documentation and psycholinguistics.
You can find a list of our renowned and dedicated faculty here as well as cross-appointed faculty and visiting scholars.
At the graduate level, we also offer a Graduate Diploma in Linguistics, a PhD in Linguistics, Language Documentation and Revitalization, and an MA and PhD in Applied Linguistics & Discourse Studies.
Capital Advantage
Ottawa, the nation’s capital and a bilingual, multicultural centre of government, education, health care, and the headquarters for many non-profit organizations, is an ideal site for advanced applied linguistics and discourse studies. Our connections to these organizations provide our MA students with teaching and research opportunities during their program and with career options once they graduate.
