Information for Prospective Research Students

Our department provides the ideal environment for research students. You will have the opportunity for daily interaction with fellow students and academics in your field, and will be supervised by staff engaged in world-class research. We offer advanced courses in theoretical linguistics (including access to advanced training through ACTL) alongside training in research methods and skills (through UCL's Graduate School). You will also take part in specialized reading groups, and in seminar series and workshops both within the Department and in the Centre for Human Communication.

If you are interested in working with one of us, then you should in the first instance make contact with a relevant member of staff via email. This will give you and us an opportunity to work out if there is a good match between your research interest and ours, before you go through the formal application process.

The Department has one AHRC Doctoral Studentship to award to a student embarking on an MPhil/PhD in the department starting in October 2012. The studentship comprises three years' full-time fees and maintenance.  If you are interested, you should send your application for the Linguistics PhD programme to UCL Admissions by 31st January 2012 at the latest, indicating on  your UCL application that you wish to be considered for an AHRC award. In order to ensure your eligibility, please also consult the AHRC guidelines.
