About

The PhD in Computation, Cognition and Language at University of Cambridge is a PhD track for students who conduct basic and applied research in the computational study of language, communication, and cognition, in humans and machines.

Overview

Features 

  • This Computation, Cognition and Language research at University of Cambridge is interdisciplinary in nature and draws on methodology and insights from a range of disciplines that are now critical for the further development of language sciences, including (but not limited to) Linguistics, Cognitive Science, Computer Science, Engineering, Psychology and Neuroscience. 

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

  • In British universities, the PhD is traditionally awarded solely on the basis of a thesis, a substantial piece of writing which reports original research into a closely defined area of enquiry. 
  • The completion of the PhD thesis is generally expected to take three to four years, and most funding is based on this assumption.  It is also possible to take a part-time route, and the expected timeframe would be five to seven years.
