This programme will develop your understanding of how language knowledge changes as people acquire or lose language at various points in their life.
The programme is designed primarily for graduates with a background related to linguistics and/or psychology who wish to develop their knowledge of current research on language acquisition – first, second, bilingual, and impaired.
You will also look at language change from a cognitive perspective and from the point of view of current linguistic theories.
Joining a vibrant research community of developmental linguists, you will have the opportunity to carry out advanced research to try to answer questions related to the area of language development and bilingualism. These questions might include, ‘how do children learn language?’ or ‘what happens when we forget a language?’
A UK 2:1 honours degree, or its international equivalent, preferably in linguistics, psychology or a related subject.
