- Linguistics and Multilingual Studies Prescribed Electives (40 AUs)

Requirements of the Linguistics and Multilingual Studies Major:
A1. Linguistics and Multilingual Studies Core (Compulsory) Courses
The 7 core courses (21 AUs) equip students with a firm foundation in Linguistics. Each course (unless otherwise stated) is equivalent to 3 AUs.
Students are strongly advised to complete all the LMS core courses by the end of their second year.
A2. Linguistics and Multilingual Studies Electives
Students must choose 12 electives (with a minimum of 40 AUs) from the wide range of Linguistics and Multilingual Studies Prescribed Electives. At least 4 of the 12 electives must be from level-4000 courses, and at least three electives must be from level-3000 courses. These courses are offered in five concentrations. These are:
Language, Mind and Multilingualism
Multilingual Societies and Multiculturalism

Special Topics
Note:
1. The Programme recommends students to take an average of 3 LMS courses every semester.
2. We strongly encourage students to complete their Core Courses (2000-level courses) first before attempting the prescribed electives (3000- and 4000-level courses).
Students are strongly encouraged to read the Core Courses as soon as they are offered. Please do not delay the reading of Core Courses because these Core Courses may be the pre-requisite for some courses offered in future semesters. A failure to clear the Core Courses as early as possible will impose restrictions in the choice of courses in future semesters.
