Overview
Understanding language
The Linguistics programme of the University of Amsterdam focuses on our uniquely human capacity to use language, something indispensable in our daily life. As a linguist you are interested in how language and speech are structured, how we acquire it, how it can be impaired, how it is represented in the brain, how it functions in society, how we deal with 2, 3, or 4 languages at the same time, and how it changes. All these questions are addressed in this broad Bachelor's programme in Linguistics.
Is Linguistics right for you?
Linguistics from University of Amsterdam, is the ideal programme for you if:
- You have an active interest in languages but also in language in general.
- You enjoy solving puzzles and problems that require a systematic approach.
- You want to understand how languages differ or resemble one another, how they change over time, and how they are acquired.
- You wonder how language is represented in the brain and how language impairments arise.
- You’d like to learn a new language yourself.
