Linguistics focuses on our uniquely human capacity to use language, something indispensable in our daily life. As a linguist you are interested in how language and speech is structured, how we acquire it, how it can be impaired, how it is represented in the brain, how it functions in society, how we deal with 2, 3, or 4 languages at the same time, and how it changes.
Linguistics is the right degree for you if you have an active interest in languages but also in language in general. It is also the right degree for you if you like to (learn how to) solve puzzles and problems that require a systematic approach, as the methodologies applied in linguistics are objective and replicable. Prospective students should possess a valid secondary school/high school diploma or Dutch university preparatory education (VWO) diploma, and need to demonstrate a sufficient command of English.

instruction modes
In the Bachelor's Linguistics you will explore both the structure and acquisition of language, as well as the diversity of language around the world. The programme is taught in English. You are introduced to a number of linguistic subjects, including the study of a modern language of your choice. Alongside the core programme, you specialise by selecting a minor or electives in one or more of your fields of interest. You can also decide to study abroad for a semester or do an internship.
objectives
As a Linguistics graduate, you will have developed unique academic abilities relevant to a career in your specific subject area, as well as a range of employment opportunities where a critical, curious, and independent disposition is essential. A completed Bachelor's programme in Linguistics offers a wide range of career possibilities. You may apply for jobs in the narrower field of linguistics, but also in other positions that require a critical, independent, and analytical mind in combination with good language skills.
Graduates have found positions at:
- Scientific research into language, language teaching, language development
- School advisory service
- Institutions for foreign language teaching
- Hospitals with a clinical linguistics department
- Software companies
- Publishing houses
- Libraries
- Archives
