By the end of the programme, students will have:

developed a deeper knowledge and understanding of linguistic theories and problems addressed in cutting-edge research in theoretical linguistics and the language sciences or computational linguistics.
developed the skill of critically assessing current research and methods in these areas
acquired the methodological and other technical skills necessary for research in their chosen area

Programme Structure

Courses include:

The majority of students follow the MPhil by Advanced Study. Students taking the MPhil by Thesis have to follow some elements of the MPhil by Advanced Study, but the formal assessment is by a 30,000-word thesis alone.
Progress will be monitored throughout the year by work submitted or presented orally according to a schedule specified in the Guidelines for the course.
