Language is at the heart of human behaviour, human societies and human creativity. Understanding how language works is therefore key to unlocking what it means to be human.

In this fascinating subject you will explore fundamental questions such as:

Where does language come from and what is it made of?
How is language represented in the mind/brain and how is it related to culture and society?
How do the world’s languages vary and how does the language you speak shape your experiences?
How is language learned and how can it be impaired?
How can technology be harnessed to study patterns in the way language is used?

Our extensive range of optional modules also gives you the chance to look at how language functions across a broad range of contexts, including business, law, politics, health and literature. You can also explore how language works in non-human systems such as speech technologies and what is required to develop these.

Linguistics is not just a fascinating area of study, you will gain a skillset that opens doors to a range of exciting and rewarding careers. Transferable skills include a capacity for critical thinking, an ability to gather, organise and analyse large quantities of data, and an aptitude for developing new and innovative ideas. You’ll have the chance to develop specialist skills including in the lexical and grammatical analysis of real and constructed languages, the acoustic analysis of speech, and computer programming for language technologies.

Sometimes known as a year in industry, your placement year will take place between your second and final year of study and this will extend your degree to four years.
