HomeAlthough we all use our native language effortlessly, a surprisingly rich set of precise rules has been found to underlie our ability to do so. Linguists and phoneticians at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê carry out cutting-edge research into various aspects of the human language faculty, something that is reflected in our teaching, which is challenging, interactive and fun.
Established over 100 years ago we offer unparalleled depth and breadth of specialism in education. Our programmes are taught by leading thinkers and practitioners in the field and our teaching inspires our students by providing them with first-hand experience of leading-edge research and knowledge creation.
You can develop your understanding of the human language faculty at many different levels, from introductory to advanced. Of course, the skills associated with these levels differ, but all of our modules help you question the familiar and evaluate different points of view. You will also develop your skills in oral and written presentation.
Modules typically consist of a weekly lecture and some modules (but not all) will have a seminar. Assessments vary, but can include coursework, formal exams or presentations. There are no associated costs for these modules.
