Linguistics

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.

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. With a Bachelor’s degree in hand, you can also choose to enrol in a related Master’s programme.
