This course bridges between humanities and science, training you in the study of language and linguistics. You’ll have the chance to learn how English has changed over the centuries and the impact it has on society today. You'll also delve into the science behind language acquisition and processing.
Change how you see the world through the study of language and linguistics - expanding your knowledge of how languages work, how they are stored in speakers' minds and how we make use of them.
We’ll give you a solid foundation in the experimental, social and analytical elements of language and linguistics in your first year, which will help you to tailor your course to suit your unique interests.
You’ll acquire scientific skills to analyse language and linguistic data. While exploring subjects like language acquisition and phonetics, you’ll have the chance to use specialist digital software to analyse speech, map regional language variation and work with numerical data. You’ll also have the opportunity to study the social and human side of language and linguistics, investigating accent and dialect in relation to class, gender, age and ethnicity.
Language is used in every facet of human life, which allows language and linguistics to contribute to many fields of study and leads to a variety of career options. Our graduates have gone on to work in a wide range of fields, for example as speech and language therapists, conversational AI analysts and journalists.
