Overview

This page covers Linguistics across the departments we work with, including what each asks for and what it charges. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Linguistics includes quantitative methods at most departments, which surprises applicants who expected essays alone.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
