Research is the primary focus of all but a few MA programmes, with most being by thesis only. Some offer the possibility of substituting part of the thesis with up to two courses, while a few, such as the MA in English, Linguistics, Applied Linguistics or TESOL, offer the further possibility of substituting the thesis with a smaller research course and other coursework.
