Summary
The MRes in Linguistics is a pre-doctoral training programme designed to provide a critical, research-led approach to the study of Linguistics, across a broad disciplinary range of subfields (sociolinguistics, formal linguistics, experimental linguistics, developmental linguistics)..
This advanced subject specific training will be combined with training in the key research skills appropriate for doctoral level study. Alongside a suite of substantive modules offered in conjunction with the Department's MA in Linguistics, the programme includes core modules in research design, social and epistemological theory, and qualitative and quantitative methods offered jointly by QMUL, Kings College London and Imperial College as part of the ESRC-funded London Interdisciplinary Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership.
This programme is in an approved pathway for ESRC funding, enabling students to apply for ESRC 1+3 funding to cover both the MRes and a PhD, and successful MRes graduates to apply subsequently for ESRC +3 PhD funding.
