Course Overview

The Forensic Linguistics MA course aims to expand your linguistic analysis skills and understanding so that you can apply them to forensic texts and in forensic and legal contexts. You will learn from some of the worlds leading academics in the field of forensic linguistics, based at our research institute - the Aston Institute for Forensic Linguistics. There is a strong ethos throughout this program of forensic linguistics as an application of linguistics. You will study and improve your knowledge and abilities in the linguistic analysis of spoken and written language, in contexts such as police interviews and courtroom interactions, and you will learn how linguists apply their methods to aid police investigations and provide evidence in court. The course has strong links with the police so you will get unique access to real-world data for your coursework. Our course is applied in nature, giving you a chance to gain valuable hands-on experiences involving real forensic and legal data. It includes practical project work as well as academic essay assessments.
