Overview
We offer supervision for our PhD Psycholinguistics route at University of Essex and Neurolinguistics in the areas of first language acquisition and language processing.
Examples of PhD projects include investigating word segmentation in infants, the development of the bilingual infant lexicon, the representation of phonological and morphological information in the lexicon of the adult and the child.
Other career paths our former PhD students have taken include publishing, social work, administration, and retail.
Career
Given the breadth of our provision within the Department of Language and Linguistics, career prospects for our graduates vary depending on the study undertaken. Often the career destination of our PhD students is university lecturing or research. Given the interdisciplinary nature of the areas of linguistics we cover, this could be in departments of English, linguistics, education, sociology or cognitive science.
Programme Structure
Assessment
- On our four-year route (the Integrated ‘new route’ PhD), your first year is a preparatory MRes year so you take six taught modules and write an assessed MRes dissertation.
- This programme is ideal if you wish to develop your knowledge of existing research and improve your understanding of research methods before embarking on independent research.
- On our three-year supervised research route, if you already have a solid knowledge of existing research in your field and a good understanding of research methods, plus a suitable research proposal, you immediately begin your independent research, under the guidance of your supervisor.
