Experimental Linguistics (International Programme) UCL

Overview

The four-year Experimental Linguistics (International Programme) BSc is essentially identical to the three-year Experimental Linguistics BSc, but you will have the opportunity to spend an additional year abroad at one of our partner institutions, currently in Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, the Netherlands or the USA (please note that year abroad options are subject to change without notice).

What this course will give you

You will develop a broad foundation in linguistic analysis, theory, and experimental methods, while being able to pursue chosen areas in greater depth.

You will develop a wide range of transferable skills: a broad understanding of language and languages; experimental methods, data collection and analysis; hypothesis testing; critical reading and argumentation. You gain hands-on experience with experimental design and statistical analysis.

 University College London (UCL) focus on small-group teaching helps develop a friendly and supportive atmosphere. LingSoc, the linguistics student society, runs a mentoring scheme whereby second-year or final-year students support new students.

The foundation of your career

• Many Linguistics graduates from UCL continue studying at graduate level, often with a view to pursuing an academic career. 
• Linguistics connects with many other disciplines and a number of graduates go on to work in these areas, e.g. natural language processing, teaching languages, especially English as a first or foreign language, speech therapy, advertising or the media.
