Undergraduate Study

 

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.
