Linguistics Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) - BA (Hons)
Course Overview - Linguistics Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) - BA (Hons)
Linguistics is the systematic study of human language. On the course, you will use methods and knowledge from many disciplines. These include philosophy, physics, engineering and psychology.
Your studies will be varied – one day you might be poring over a medieval text for evidence of how the grammar of a language has changed, and the next, learning about how the larynx creates sound energy for speech, or how we can record brain responses in a categorisation task.
This course explores properties which all languages share and which offer insight into the human mind....

This course explores properties which all languages share and which offer insight into the human mind.
You will cover a wide range of disciplines. For example, the study of meaning draws on philosophy, the analysis of the speech signal uses methods from physics and engineering, and the study of language acquisition draws on psychology.
From your second year, you can choose to specialise through optional papers, if there is a particular discipline that interests you.
