UG Linguistics Virtual Information Session

Linguistics is the study of the capacity to use language. At UCL, students investigate the sound patterns (Phonetics and Phonology) and grammatical structures (Syntax) of the world's languages, and how we create and use meaningful expressions (Semantics and Pragmatics). Students on our courses can explore a range of topics including language acquisition and processing, multilingualism, sociolinguistics, language evolution, and animal communication and can explore a range of experimentally-based disciplines (e.g., language acquisition, psycholinguistics, multilingualism).

We run the BA Linguistics and the BSc Experimental Linguistics programmes. During the session, you'll hear from programme Director Klaus Abels and various lecturers on both programmes. They'll talk you through the various course structures, modules, career outcomes and life as a student in the department, UCL and London more widely.

You'll also get to watch a taster lecture during the session. We'll also have student ambassadors who are current students on the course in the session so you'll be able to pitch your questions to them and gain their valuable insights into why this is the course for you too.
