The MPhil programme is structured progressively to form a bridge between undergraduate study and possible further research. Its balance changes through the year so that in the first two months (Michaelmas Term - October to December) there is instruction through lectures, whilst by the last three months students are carrying out independent research full-time.
Students continue to attend the compulsory seminars. MPhil students normally start the programme under the supervision of the MPhil Director or appropriate pathway director, who can be called on for general advice, and they consult subject specialists inside and outside the Department as appropriate.
A subject-specific supervisor is appointed in Lent term on the basis of the student's proposed thesis topic. An important feature of the programme is the opportunity to pursue an area-specific pathway through the programme, for example, in applied linguistics or the linguistics of a particular language or language family.
