This MSc builds on the Department’s research specialities in the psychology of language, speech, and auditory processing.

You will also learn about the latest work on hearing impairment and assessment and child language disorders.
The course is aimed at graduates who wish to progress to a PhD in language development, psycholinguistics or psychoacoustics, or wish to boost their research skills en route to speech and language therapy, audiology, or clinical or educational psychology training. It is also aimed at professionals who have already qualified as speech and language therapists or audiologists, or clinical or educational psychologists, but wish to enhance their research skills before entering the job market, or who require additional knowledge about language, speech or hearing to apply to their work environment.
You will take five taught modules: two are compulsory and cover language, speech and hearing and child language disorders; another two compulsory modules cover research design and statistics; the fifth module is selected from a range of options in different areas of cognition, development, and neuroscience. You will also carry out an original research project supervised by a member of the course team, which is written up as a dissertation.
