Overview

The Linguistics BSc course from the University of York will allow you to explore the questions that are central to the study of language and take you on an exhilarating journey of discovery, guided by some of the world's foremost experts.

Key Facts

Learn the basic facts about language and its structure to the cutting edge of current research. You will learn about the sound systems of languages, their morphology and syntax, how meaning is built and how we can go from the smallest aspect of sound to the meaning of a whole discourse.

Along the way you will acquire skills in quantitative data analysis and basic computational theory, as well as the foundational skills of writing, argumentation, and oral presentation. Our graduates go on to pursue careers in language technology, teaching, publishing, journalism, or careers in the police and the security services after training in forensic speech science (a speciality at York).
