Masters in Clinical Linguistics in EU or Canada

[howdoiexitvim]

Hello all,

I am wondering what other programmes are there that have heavy focus in Clinical Linguistics research (diagnosis and rehabilitation), be it acquired or developmental language disorders.

I know of the following, and if you have experience with them, I'd love to hear what you think of them as options

• EMCL+ (EU)
• Uni Potsdam's IECL (DE)
• Groningen's MA in Linguistics (NL)
• Utrecht's MA in Linguistics (not as specialised but with some related research groups) (NL)
• McMaster's Experimental Psycholinguistics and Neurolinguistics (CA)

Some of the things I am looking for in a programme:

• English-taught (I know some German, but not enough to do academic work in it)
• Relatively competitive
• Access to neuroling research labs and/or clinical practice
• Opportunities for scholarships and/or stipend positions (I'm willing to work hard, but I am reluctant of tying a debt millstone around my neck)

My background is in General Linguistics, without a lot of neuroscience, medical science, or statistics unfortunately. But I have some research experience and traineeships in relevant labs. My BA thesis is related to aphasia. My academic performance so far has been near top 1% of my department (I don't know officially). I do not have any publications yet, and no presentations in prestigious conferences. It has its minuses and pluses, so all in all I want to try for competitive programmes and see if I can get in.
