What is the School of Language and Scripture?

The School of Language and Scripture (SLS) is a collaboration with Wycliffe Bible Translators, training people to work with marginalised communities, to see lives transformed through a relationship with God and his life-changing Word. At the heart of the School’s activities is the MA Language, Community and Development, a programme providing and enhancing the essential tools for community-based development, linguistics, literacy, Bible translation and Scripture engagement.

Find out more about our School of Language and Scripture here. 

     

    The MA in Language, Community and Development* has three stages:

    • Postgraduate Certificate
    • Postgraduate Diploma  
    • Dissertation 

    In order to get the most from the programme, we recommend you initially register for the Postgraduate Certificate then work in a professional internship, exploring language and development issues within a new community and culture, before returning to reflect on your experiences as you complete the Masters programme.

    However, if, for example, you have already had substantial experience working in a cross-cultural context, you can choose to register for the full MA.

    For more information, please have a look at our ‘MA Language, Community and Development’ page.
