POSTGRADUATE STUDIES IN HUMAN COMMUNICATION SCIENCE


The Department of Human Communication Science, University College
London, is one of the largest departments of clinical communication
science in the UK, with a thriving undergraduate and postgraduate
training and research programme. UCL offers an outstanding environment
for research in the field of human communication.

We are inviting applications for our MPhil/PhD programme, commencing
in September 1999.

The Department is recognised by the ESRC for research training
(applied linguistics) and is eligible for full-time and part-time
research studentships, awarded on a national competitive basis, to
outstanding candidates from the UK and Europe. Candidates seeking
support from this source should ensure that their admission forms are
complete and received by the department by *March 15th 1999*.

The University College Graduate School also offers studentship awards
to suitable candidates on a competitive basis. Overseas students are
eligible for these awards. Candidates seeking support from these
sources should ensure that their admission forms are complete and
received by the department by *March 1st 1999*.

Graduate research students are eligible to apply for UCL Graduate
Research Scholarships for cross-disciplinary training, of one year's
duration. The scholarship provides full funding for an extra year of
study in another UCL department.

>From time to time, departmental Teaching Studentships are available,
which offer a bursary and contributions to fees and subsistence

Applicants should have, or expect to gain, a masters degree or an honours
degree of at least a 2.1 class (or equivalent) in linguistics, psychology,
speech & language therapy or a similar, relevant discipline. Applications
from final year students will require confirmation of expected degree
class.
