The MSc Phonetics programme is no longer running.
What was formerly MSc Phonetics is now a pathway in MSc Linguistics. The content of the pathway is identical to the content of the former MSc Phonetics. Incorporation into MSc Linguistics allows students to explore connections between phonetics and other subdisciplines within Linguistics in a flexible way. This pathway will give a comprehensive grounding in the theory and practice of phonetics. Students will learn the core phonetic topics of speech production, speech acoustics, and speech perception, and will learn how phonetics relates to many other language-related disciplines.
Students who are interested in pursuing the Phonetics Pathway must apply for the MSc Linguistics program, which can be found on our Degree Finder:
