Theoretical and Applied Linguistics by thesis is no longer accepting new applications.

My MPhil By Thesis in Cambridge was an extremely fulfilling time during which I was able to prosper as a student and as a researcher. I was able to join amazing communities, both in my College and in the Linguistics department, and enjoyed taking part in the different research events organised during the week. My nine months in Cambridge were unfortunately cut short due to the pandemic, but even then, the university and the MPhil lecturers kept providing first-class support and teaching.
