Linguistics with French (Honours)

Overview

The Linguistics with French (Honours) programme of Newcastle University concentrates on developing your understanding of how languages function, how we communicate and the growth of language in the brain. You'll explore linguistics in the context of English and French language. You will build a firm foundation of skills and knowledge to pursue many career paths.

You will be able to apply your linguistics learning, knowledge and skills and build your fluency of French from beginner, intermediate or advanced level.

In your third year, you'll immerse yourself in French culture as you spend the year in a French-speaking country to help further improve your language skills and confidence.
