Are you fascinated by how language works and what people can do with it? Language is a uniquely human phenomenon with lots of intricate aspects to explore. A Linguistics degree at Huddersfield will introduce you to the science of language and help you to understand how human beings communicate in so many diverse ways and in different contexts. Why Linguistics? * State-of-the-art facilities including a forensic linguistics lab, a research and resource centre and conference labs. * Opportunity to take a five-week placement as part of the ‘Language in the Workplace’ module – a chance to see how the language skills you’ve learnt on the course can be applied to communication in a working environment. * Get involved in the writing, editing and production of the popular department linguistics magazine, Babel (https://babelzine.co.uk/). * 95% of graduates from this subject are in work and/or further study fifteen months after graduating (HESA Graduate Outcomes 17/18, UK domiciled graduates). * Opportunities to study a modern foreign language alongside your course through our Modern Languages Programme (https://www.hud.ac.uk/inspire/mhm/languages/). * Our team of academic staff are ranked in the top 5 in the UK for the quality of their research publications (REF 2014). Our study of language will take a systematic look at language and how humans use it in everyday life. On this course, language is studied as a human behaviour from a number of viewpoints including its structure (e.g. syntax, phonetics, semantics), its function (e.g. in conversation, translation, persuasion and manipulation); its acquisition (e.g. child language acquisition, multilingualism, language teaching) and its impact or application in the world (e.g. language and power, forensic phonetics and forensic linguistics, subtitling, humour). Additional Costs: Placements - The nature and suitability of your work placement is decided in consultation with your tutors. You are responsible for making your own arrangements for any travel or incurred costs in relation to the placement module, or in relation to the optional placement year if you chose to undertake one as part of your degree.
