Programme Overview
The IPhD in Linguistics and English Language is a four year programme (6 years part time) leading to the degree of PhD. The difference from the traditional PhD is that this degree integrates taught modules (in years 1 and 2) with individual research (years 3 and 4).
The objective is to provide a full and rounded training at graduate level for postgraduates seeking the PhD qualification, especially for those wishing to teach English language and/or linguistics at university level.
This programme is designed to provide you with a combination of professional skills and research training in theoretical linguistics, English language and language acquisition.
