Study

Explore a number of fascinating topics, such as the ways in which English dialects differ, how children learn language, and how languages arise and change.

As a Linguistics and English Language student, you will work in close collaboration with internationally renowned experts in a wide range of specialisms and languages (English, Germanic, Romance, Russian, Iranian, Romani, North and South American and Australian languages).

You will study in the most linguistically diverse city in Western Europe – home to over 150 languages – which provides the ideal base from which to study language in its social and cultural contexts.
