Overview

Particular research strengths are focused on the study of institutional communication (for example, health and science communication), the relationships between politics, language and culture, and electronic communication.

Features

The Applied Linguistics programme at Queen Mary University of London is normally a 3-year full time (or 6-year part time) research only PhD programme (i.e., there is no mandatory coursework component and students are expected to immediately start their research).

In May of every year of the programme full-time PhD students are expected to pass an annual progress review.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

You can choose a supervisor from any one of the following staff members, who between them cover a range of Applied Linguistics topics.

It is essential to contact a possible supervisor to discuss your proposed PhD project before you apply for admission.

If you submit an application without having first confirmed a supervisor, we will circulate your application amongst staff to see if there is any interest, but this can lead to delays in processing the application, and is not usually successful.
