Diagnosing listening difficulties in children: The relationship between auditory processing speech processing, language processing, and cognitive abilities in children with listening difficulties.
(Melbourne) Supervised by Prof Dani Tomlin, Prof Gary Rance A dual-award is a PhD programme which leads to separate awards from two partner institutions. PhD candidates will be registered at both
Manchester and Melbourne and must complete all of the requirements of the PhD programme in both the home and partner university. PhD candidates will begin their PhD in one institution and will then spend at least 12 months in the partner institution. The amount of
time spent at Manchester and Melbourne will be dependent upon the project and candidates will work with their supervisory team in the first year to set out the structure of the project. For the Manchester position, funding for the programme will include tuition fees, an annual stipend at the minimum Research Councils UK rate (approximately £15,285 for 2020/21), a research training grant and student travel to Melbourne.
