Course content
Forensic Speech Science (FSS) comprises various applications of phonetics, linguistics, acoustics, and speech technology to tackling problems in police work or providing evidence in legal cases.
Areas of FSS also overlap with those central to speech and recording technology, and to automatic speaker recognition as used to establish a person’s identity.
The MSc equips you with a comprehensive foundation in the aims, practices, and principles involved in this range of tasks. The learning experience integrates scholarly and professional contexts, and provides students with the opportunity to analyse real case data. Students also gain hands-on experience of the latest generation of automatic speaker recognition technology, made available through the Department’s partnership with leading speech technology companies.
