Language and Cognition offers an MPhil/PhD. Our staff are world renowned for cutting edge research into language, communication and cognition in typical and atypical populations across the lifespan; acquired language and communication disorders (such as aphasia) and disorders in childhood; reading, writing and dyslexia; speech and swallowing; and typical and atypical interaction.

We inhabit Chandler House, an historic refurbished building, which also houses the unique Language and Speech Sciences Library and has state-of-the-art custom-made laboratory facilities.  We share these with closely related UCL research departments of Speech, Hearing and Phonetic Science (SHaPS), and Linguistics. 

We maintain close ties with centres of excellence including UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health, UCL Institute of Neurology and the National Hospital for Neurology & Neurosurgery
