MA Language and Cultural Diversity at King's College London

Our Language & Cultural Diversity MA examines the complex relationship between language and cultural diversity, equipping students with an advanced knowledge of the major approaches to linguistic aspects of culture in empirical and applied linguistics. Apart from exploring contemporary cultural processes, the programme also helps students develop research skills and acquire a better understanding of cultural diversity in education.
