As one of the best-known examples of a modern, vibrant and successful
multilingual society, Singapore is uniquely positioned to promote academic
studies of language and multilingualism. Singapore's geographical location
in a multilingual region and its highly bilingual population make it a
unique place for the study of bilingual and multilingual issues both within
Singapore and in the region. Singapore is strategically placed within easy
travel of linguistically significant areas, e.g. India, China, South East
Asia, Australia, etc.

The Division of Linguistics and Multilingual Studies is the newest division
in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. The postgraduate programme
is designed with a focus on the study of language within multilingual
individuals and multilingual societies. This makes it particularly relevant
to Singapore and the region, which is characterized by the widespread
practice of bilingualism and multilingualism. Postgraduate students
enrolled in our programme will be able to leverage on the rich research
opportunities presented by our proximity to this region and the Division’s
combined research strengths in the areas listed above and in the study of
the languages of Asia.

Duration of the course:
The Ph.D. degree is normally completed in three years of full-time study,
with a maximum candidature of five years of full-time, or seven years of
part-time study.

Admission Requirements:
Applicants should have a good Honours or Master's degree, or equivalent, in
either Linguistics or a relevant field from a recognized university, or be
expecting to achieve this, if final year students.
