Students undertaking the MRes in Linguistics will submit a research dissertation of 18,000–20,000 words, based on an independent project to be agreed with the programme coordinator and supervised by a member of staff in Language & Linguistics.
Students will be supported from their arrival in identifying an area of study through their research training and subject-specific courses. Those who wish to pursue doctoral study subsequent to the Masters of Research may wish to focus on an area of specialisation that they plan to pursue in their PhD, but they are expected to complete the MRes Dissertation as a stand-alone project.
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
