This programme provides an opportunity for intensive advanced training in psychology of language. The teaching and supervision is conducted by internationally recognised researchers from our Language, Cognition & Communication Research Group.
The group’s expertise covers the broad scope of psycholinguistics, as well as connections to other areas of social and cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience, and members use a wide range of experimental, observational, computational, and neuroscience methods. The group is part of one of the largest collections of natural language researchers in Europe, with links to computer scientists, linguists, and philosophers.
A UK 2:1 honours degree, or its international equivalent, in psychology, linguistics, cognitive science or a related subject.

The programme is primarily designed for students who aspire to pursue a research-oriented career in psychology of language. However, students interested in careers outside research will obtain a broad range of highly desirable transferable skills, in areas such as research design, data science, critical evaluation and synthesis of scientific literature, and written and oral communication.
