The English Language and Linguistics programme also prepares graduates for further studies where they can pursue their postgraduate degrees (Masters & PhDs) locally or internationally and we have graduates who have successfully obtained scholarships (e.g. one from Cambridge University). 

A number of University of Malaya graduates have also obtained their Masters degree at this Faculty and some from the Asia Europe Institute.
