Program Description

This programme provides an opportunity for intensive advanced training in the psychology of language. The teaching and supervision are 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.

You will take courses on the core mechanisms of human language processing, and conduct an original research dissertation in this area. You will also receive thorough training in advanced academic and research skills, including comprehensive coverage of statistical modelling and research design using the R statistical language.
