The University of Edinburgh has one of the largest concentrations of
language researchers, studying the formal, computational,
psychological and social aspects of language. The language community
includes members from different subject areas with rich collaborative
links with many outside institutions. It is drawn together for
research within the Human Communication Research Centre and shares
M.Sc. teaching and Ph.D supervision.

The course provides research or vocational training and can be
freestanding or leading to Ph.D. study. The modular nature of the
course means that it can be tailored to individual needs. Edinburgh
University offers excellent infrastructure and support, including a
purpose-built computer lab for this course.
