Overview

The Applied Linguistics programme at University of Strathclyde is intended for students from a linguistics background or those who have an interest in communication disorders but who have not completed a qualifying degree in speech and language therapy (SLT). If you have an SLT qualification you can register for the Speech and Language Therapy pathway if this is preferable.

As postgraduate research student in Applied Linguistics you will have access to a significant pool of technical resources, including labs for speech & movement analyses, signal processing; systems for eye tracking, or EEG. The supervisory pool spans all four University faculties, which provides you with access to the highest level of academic expertise to support your studies.
