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.
