Student research areas vary widely, and we accept applications from qualified individuals exploring diverse aspects of language and communication. This doctoral program enables researchers to generate original work while cultivating their skills as autonomous, intellectually curious academics. The Language and Communication PhD is a three-year full-time or five-year part-time program that allows students to investigate compelling topics aligned with faculty expertise in the Centre for Language and Communication Research.

Qualification Requirements
A First or Upper Second class UK honours degree, or equivalent is normally required, in a suitable field (such as Linguistics, Communication, Media Studies, Languages, some Social Sciences, English Literature and Humanities).
Successful applicants to the programme will also have demonstrated a strong performance at Master's level in a subject related to linguistics, will have completed a course in research methods, and will have some experience of conducting empirical research (possibly as part of the master's degree).
All PhD candidates are required to have adequate research training. If lacking such training, they will be considered for the MA in Language and Communication Research with progression to the 3-year PhD programme. During the MA year, in order to progress to the PhD programme students are required to obtain a minimum of 65% in at least 3 of the taught modules, and to obtain a dissertation mark of at least 65%.
For non-native speakers of English, an IELTS overall score of 7.5 with at least 7.0 in each sub score is essential.
