The MSc in Psycholinguistics is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of current research in psycholinguistics, and is aimed primarily at students who are considering advanced research in the area. Students are actively encouraged to join in the activities of the Language, Cognition and Communication research group, and to collaborate with staff (many of whom are international experts in the field) and senior postgraduates.
Learning Outcomes Students who follow this programme will develop an up-to-date knowledge of a broad range of areas relating to the psychology of language. The programme is also designed to help students acquire the statistical and methodological skills that allow them to conduct novel research in the field.
Many MSc dissertations lead to conference presentations or journal publications and typically over half of the students proceed to study for PhDs at Edinburgh or elsewhere.
