Linguistics postgraduate modules 2018-19

These postgraduate modules are available to students on the MA Linguistics, MRes Speech, Language and Cognition, and MSc Language Sciences. Taught graduate students registered in other UCL departments, including affiliate students, are very welcome to select the graduate linguistics and phonetics modules listed below if places are available.

Most modules have a value of 15 credits, and you can find further information on each module by clicking on the link. Students wishing to take any of these modules should register for them on Portico. Available places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. If a module is full when you register for it, you will be informed via email that we were unable to give you a place.  It is not necessary for students to come to the department to sign up for these courses. 

It is your responsibility to make sure that you meet the pre-requisites of option modules, details of which are available by clicking on the relevant link below. It is also your responsibility to make sure that you do not register for a module for which teaching clashes with your obligatory course.

You can access the module timetable by following the links below, but please note that timetable and roombooking information is provisional until the start of term. Please note that the module information (syllabus) is from last academic year, subject to change without notice, and for orientation only.
