I chose NTU’s Master of Arts in Linguistics (MALing) programme for its strong emphasis on applying linguistic theories to real-world issues and its interdisciplinary approach, integrating psychology, sociology, and computational linguistics. Being part of the inaugural cohort has been incredibly rewarding.
