Course Overview

The BA Linguistics and Culture allows you to study linguistics together with a range of cultural topics associated with, or comparing French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, and Latin American cultures. 

In the linguistics component of the degree, you will learn about the structure and functions of language and how people use language to communicate information and meaning about themselves and their identities. You will learn how to construct and evaluate linguistic arguments and how to compare and evaluate different ways of analyzing data. You will also explore the nature and limitations of various theoretical frameworks. By studying linguistics, you can develop a scientific, critical approach to understanding how language works and how it functions within society. A unique feature of the course is that you will learn how to apply linguistic methods and models to real-world problems and contexts. 

Graduates can pursue career paths in publishing, education, policy-making, or language education. Possible professions include:

  • translator

  • English as a Foreign Language teacher

  • publishing copy editor/proofreader

  • civil service fast-streamer

  • editorial assistant.

We offer a comprehensive Careers Service - Birkbeck Futures - your career partner during your time at Birkbeck and beyond.  At every stage of your career journey, we empower you to take ownership of your future, helping you to make the connection between your experience, education, and future ambitions.
