Language and Linguistics (with Counselling Studies), BSc (Hons)

If you have a keen interest in language—perhaps noticing accents, word choices, or grammar—and enjoyed discussing these in school, then linguistics may be an ideal field for you. It explores how language shapes our world and addresses intriguing questions such as: Why do so many languages exist, and what commonalities do they share? How do children learn language, and what occurs when language use is impaired, such as after a stroke? Additionally, it examines the origins of meaning, the mechanics of sentence production and comprehension, and the cultural, social, and ideological factors influencing language.To delve deeper into these topics, consider applying for a program in Language and Linguistics.
