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 Artificial Intelligence lets you specialise partway through, usually between security, data and software engineering.

The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.5, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too.

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

A crowded applicant market at the entry level and a hot one above it, and the difference is demonstrable engineering. Employers ask you to build and deploy, not to describe architectures, so projects and internships decide outcomes.
