Undergraduate Linguistics

We offer degrees in Linguistics, English Language, and Language Sciences. Which programme is right for you depends on your interests.

Linguistics focuses on the general principles of language, its properties, development, variation, and use. English Language applies these ideas specifically to English, examining its sounds, structure, history, and role in society. Language Sciences delves into how language is acquired and processed, both by humans and machines. Our Linguistics and English Language combined degree offers a comprehensive blend of both disciplines.

Study Abroad

We offer a wide range of interesting study-abroad opportunities for undergraduate students who wish to spend a year studying abroad. Credits obtained at a foreign university count towards your Lancaster degree.

We also welcome visiting or exchange students, whether taking courses for one term or longer. You must have completed a year of study at your home university before coming to Lancaster.
