MSc in Developmental Linguistics 
at the University of Edinburgh

We announce a new one-year MSc degree in Developmental 
Linguistics at the University of Edinburgh. The programme is 
based in the Department of Theoretical & Applied Linguistics 
and draws on the world-class expertise in language research 
at Edinburgh, principally in the Department of Theoretical
and Applied Linguistics, Department of Psychology, and the 
Division of Informatics (incorporating the School of 
Cognitive Science).

We invite applications from individuals with a good 
undergraduate degree in linguistics, psychology or a related 
subject. Our goal is to provide students with an advanced 
understanding of current research on language acquisition 
and language change from the perspectives of cognitive 
psychology and linguistic theory. The programme also 
provides methodological skills needed to conduct novel 
research in these fields, and will be a valuable precursor to 
PhD studies at Edinburgh or elsewhere.
