The PhD in Cognitive Science of Language at McMaster University is an interdisciplinary doctoral programme drawing faculty from the Faculty of Humanities, the Faculty of Science, and the Faculty of Health Sciences. It examines the connection between language structure, language processing, and the neural basis of language, combining psycholinguistics, core linguistics, cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and corpus linguistics. Students complete coursework alongside a research programme culminating in a doctoral thesis, and research training spans neurolinguistics, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, and theoretical linguistics as applied to language acquisition, comprehension, and production. The degree prepares graduates for research and academic careers in language science and cognitive science more broadly. The programme is completed on a full-time basis over a nominal four years, with typical entry in September and an application deadline of January 31.
