Master in Applied Linguistics (Part Time)

University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC) was the first Sino-foreign university to open in China and brings UK-style degrees to an English-taught campus in Ningbo. Established in 2004 in partnership with Zhejiang Wanli Education Group, UNNC offers University of Nottingham programmes with the same academic standards and quality assurance as the UK, combined with a distinctive international campus life in a historic and rapidly growing port city.

The campus emphasizes a global perspective, strong academic support, and rich extracurricular opportunities with more than 40 clubs and societies. Students benefit from close faculty supervision, a broad range of degree options, and practical experiences such as industry collaborations and cross-campus events that link the UK, China and Malaysia campuses. Residential facilities designed for international students are fully furnished and equipped for connectivity, creating a comfortable study environment.

Ningbo itself offers a lively student lifestyle with modern amenities, cultural attractions, and affordable living costs compared with larger Chinese metropolises. New students receive structured welcome and buddy programmes to ease arrival, bank setup, and social integration. UNNC is a compelling choice for students seeking a British-style education in an international Chinese setting that supports academic rigor, cultural exchange, and career-focused development.

The Master in Applied Linguistics is a 2-year part-time program that helps students understand how language works in real-life situations. It's taught in English at the University of Nottingham Ningbo China and is open to students with a high school diploma.

The program teaches students about language teaching, language acquisition, and discourse analysis. They develop skills in language analysis, research, and teaching, and get practical experience through teaching practice and research projects.

Graduates can work as language teachers, curriculum developers, language assessors, editors, or translators, in schools, universities, publishing companies, or language training centers in China or around the world.
