At postgrad level, you tend to go either into research or applied mode. Most specialised ones
Applied Linguistics / Linguistics
Intercultural Communication
Translation and Interpreting
Teaching
And then it specialises more and more
Tips for Choosing a Masters
* Consider practical experience vs research
* Consider options of FT, PT, distance
* Ensure the qualification allows you to pursue the career you want
* Consider fees and scholarships, visas, cost of living
* Consider your university's reputation, but remember a bad result from a great university can be worse than an amazing result from a less famous university
* Rankings: Ensure the ranking reflects what you care about
