Overview

Key Features

At Bar-Ilan University, students learn from the world’s leading researchers in Linguistics, studying both theoretical aspects of linguistics analysis and experimental and corpus-based research methods. The Linguistics degree from Bar Ilan University provides training both in deep formal theoretical models and in applied and interdisciplinary studies related to fields such as brain science, bilingualism and language impairments.

Students gain a solid background in phonology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, as well as in more applied areas such as psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics. Studies take place in English, yet the BIU Linguistics degree provides students with the tools for analyzing any human language – English, Hebrew, Arabic, Russian, and many others.

In addition, the double major with Linguistics is offered to students who would like to specialize not only in English Literature but also in Linguistics. This is an excellent opportunity for those students that would like to utilize a combined knowledge of both fields in their career or continued academic endeavors.
