The Doctor of Applied Language Sciences (應用語言科學博士) (DALS) programme offered by the PolyU Faculty of Humanities provides a substantive body of knowledge about applied language sciences and the inextricable link between theory and practice. Aiming at nurturing future leaders in language-related fields, the DALS prograqmme (programme code: 03002) has attracted students from different backgrounds, which range from education to business, engineering, translation and interpretation, and information technology.
The flexible study mode (3-year full-time or 5-year part-time) allows students to complete the programme at a pace that suits your needs.
This flexibility extends to the four specific strands of the DALS programme. Besides choosing from the four strands to develop your specialism, you can also choose elective subjects from different strands for inter-disciplinary studies.
The highly relevant and up-to-date programme content facilitates your success in this age of globalisation and digitalisation. Besides, the Faculty of Humanities has enlisted collaboration with a number of internationally prestigious institutions as professional and academic partners to ensure that DALS students will benefit from inputs from renowned overseas and local scholars, researchers and practitioners.
What makes studying the DALS programme even better? The Humanities Doctoral Scholarship offered by the Faculty provides an entry scholarship and a post-entry scholarship to outstanding students in the form of tuition fee waiver. Qualified students may be appointed as teaching assistants in the departments and centres in FH.
