The University of Essex is one of the UK's leading academic institutions, ranked ninth nationally for research excellence following the most recent Research Assessment Exercise (RAE, December 2008).

Our Department of Language and Linguistics is one of the largest and most prestigious departments of its kind in the world, rated as producing the highest proportion of ‘world-leading’ linguistics research of any university in the UK in the most recent Research Assessment Exercise (RAE, December 2008). Comprising 24 academic staff, we offer teaching and research supervision in: language acquisition, language learning and language teaching; culture and communication; psycholinguistics; language disorders; sociolinguistics; and theoretical and descriptive linguistics.

This course provides a thorough grounding in research on human language processing and the representation of language in the brain and language disorders. You investigate similarities and differences in the processing of sounds, words and sentences, look at different kinds of language impairment (for example, aphasia, specific language impairment or Williams Syndrome) and investigate the relevance of data from human language processing and language disorders to our understanding of the nature of language, for example, on issues such as the modularity of language.
