Linguistics And Language With Foundation Year (Ba): 4-Year, Full-Time

As the science of language, linguistics studies everything to do with language, including how language is structured, how it develops in children, the ways in which it reflects society and culture, how it defines individuals and groups, and how it changes over time.

Our BA Linguistics and Language with Foundation Year offers you the opportunity to learn about the central ideas and concerns of contemporary linguistics at one of the world’s top research-intensive universities. You'll 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 your level of entry, while practising allied skills such as translating, summary-writing, and delivering written and oral presentations.

Upon successful completion of the Foundation Year, you can automatically progress on to our three-year, full-time, evening study BA Linguistics and Language.
