Course Overview

As the science of language, linguistics studies everything to do with language, including:

  • how language is structured

  • how it develops in children

  • the ways in which it reflects society and culture

  • how it defines individuals and groups

  • how it changes over time.

Our BA in Linguistics and Language offer you the opportunity to learn about the central ideas and concerns of contemporary linguistics at one of the world’s top research-intensive universities. On this linguistics degree, you will also have the opportunity to reach near-native standard in one language - French, German, Italian, or Spanish - or upper-intermediate or advanced level in Japanese, depending on your level of entry, while practicing skills such as translating, summary writing and delivering written and oral presentations.

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.
