Summary
The Language Sciences MSc programme provides an opportunity for in-depth study in one or more areas of language science. It is an umbrella degree with five separate specialised routes. On the Development of Language and Speech route, you'll learn about different aspects of first language acquisition, how we acquire a second language, and how to study language development in typical and atypical populations.
Modular (flexible) students - Some postgraduate taught and MRes programmes are available on a modular basis. Modular study lasts between 2 and 5 years. This is different to a part-time study which lasts for a fixed period.
