Linguistics and Language (BA)

This course explores the central ideas and concerns of contemporary linguistics at one of the world’s top research-intensive universities. Students 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 their level of entry, while practising allied skills such as translating, summary-writing, and delivering written and oral presentations. Graduates can pursue careers in publishing, education, policy-making or language education. This degree can also be useful in becoming a translator, English as a Foreign Language teacher, publishing copy editor/proof reader, civil service fast-streamer or editorial assistant.
