BA (Hons) Language Studies and Linguistics (Including Foundation Year)

... United Kingdom
... University of Essex

Course Overview

Your first year at Essex studying BA Language Studies and Linguistics (including Foundation Year) will be with Essex Pathways. In your second year of study, you will join the Department of Language and Linguistics for the remaining three years of study.

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 such as doctor-patient interactions and interviewer-interviewee dialogues.
