The goal of the College’s admissions processes is to determine your potential to succeed in and gain benefit from the studies for which you are applying. We seek to do this in a way which gives appropriate support to you as an applicant and, potentially, as a student.
The MA Language, Community and Development programme is designed to develop students’ systematic understanding of language, community and development, their ability to relate this to relevant disciplines, including social science and theological disciplines, and thereby to enable them to engage in various professional vocations including literacy, Scripture Engagement, field linguistics, language programme management and Bible translation. If you would like to learn more about the programme’s aims, you can find them laid out in full in the programme specification, here:
Most of the questions asked below enable the College to assess your suitability for the programme and the vocational futures for which it is intended to prepare people. In addition to those questions, as a UK Higher Education Institution registered with the Office for Students, we are also obliged to ask all applicants about other personal details. Together, the questions enable us to meet the highest standards as a college, particularly in supporting people from disadvantaged backgrounds and ensuring that we meet all regulatory requirements relating to equalities and diversity.
