Cambridge's new applied-language master's, and why French students are flocking to it
A nine-month MPhil in language industries that bridges UK and EU markets.
The Cambridge Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages launched its MPhil in Applied Linguistics & Language Industries last autumn. Twenty-two of the first cohort of forty are French nationals.
The appeal is straightforward: a recognised UK degree, a one-year clock, and explicit alignment with EU certification standards. The post-study work visa runs for two years.
Tuition is £39,500. For families weighing it against an HEC or ESCP master, the maths is no longer obvious. For those weighing it against silence, it is.
