In this course, We offer supervision for our PhD Psycholinguistics and Neurolinguistics in the areas of first language acquisition and language processing. We also offer an Mphil in this subject. Examples of PhD projects include investigating word segmentation in infants, the development of the bilingual infant lexicon, the representation of phonological and morphological information in the lexicon of the adult and the child. A research degree gives you the chance to investigate your chosen topic in real depth and reach a profound understanding.

In communicating that understanding, through a thesis or other means, you have a rare opportunity to generate knowledge. A research degree allows you to develop new high-level skills, enhance your professional development and build new networks. It can open doors to many careers. Given the breadth of our provision within our Department of Language and Linguistics, career prospects for our graduates vary depending on the study undertaken. Often the career destination of our PhD students is university lecturing or research. Given the interdisciplinary nature of the areas of linguistics we cover, this could be in departments of English, linguistics, education, sociology or even cognitive science.
