Overview

Features

Postgraduate research study is personalised; flexibility is allowed for the research to evolve and investigate findings not envisaged at the outset of the work. This is complemented by a training structure that provides critical skills training, personal development and progression milestones.

The project will usually be outlined by an applicant seeking to work within a particular research area with a focused plan of research in mind, usually shared and discussed with the potential main supervisor. Alternatively, the project will be part of a research programme and such projects are usually outlined by the academic supervisor offering the study. This Communication Disorders degree is offered at The University of Manchester.

Programme Structure

Communication disorders research is based in the world leading Division of Human Communication, Development and Hearing (HCHD) providing an exciting and rewarding experience.
