BA (Hons) Modern Languages and Linguistics

... United Kingdom
... University of Essex

Course Overview

Explore both the theoretical aspects of the language we use and acquire the practical ability to speak another language. Any understanding of language enhances our self-awareness, inspiring us to address fundamental questions about our communication as human beings.

Linguistics is an increasingly important subject, impacting areas in psychology, philosophy, education, and artificial intelligence. It has real-world applications in such diverse fields as human rights, computer-assisted language learning, and the study of institutional language in settings like doctor-patient interactions, interviewer-interviewee dialogues, and courtroom exchanges.
