About the course

Course summary

Linguistics explores how language works. It describes how we create meaning through:

  • sounds
  • words
  • sentences
  • conversations
It also studies:
  • the uses of language in everyday life
  • ways in which language varies across society and evolves over time
  • how language is mastered by children
Linguistics has a long history at the University of Edinburgh, and our teaching staff have an excellent reputation for research in this area.Linguistics is a new subject for nearly all undergraduates, so you will not need any prior knowledge at the beginning of the programme.

A local representative of The University of Edinburgh in Singapore is available online to assist you with enquiries about this course.
