Through our course, you will explore the sounds and structure of languages across the globe, studying topics such as how languages change over time how children acquire their first language how language varies between different groups of people and across regions how we communicate as individuals and within groups what languages across the world have in common and how they differ and what happens when speakers of different languages come into contact.With its diverse local communities, Manchester is an ideal site for carrying out research on linguistic variation and multilingualism.We have two laboratories, where you'll have the chance to use ultrasound imaging, laryngography and eye tracking technology. You'll also be able to learn quantitative methods and use large language corpora, skills which you'll then be able to apply to other fields throughout your life.You can also achieve near-native proficiency in Arabic while studying the language within its cultural and historical context. You will start as an absolute beginner and go through to an advanced level over four years.Language study offers much more than just language fluency. You'll explore diverse aspects of the culture, society, history, politics and literature of the countries in which Arabic is spoken, helping you to develop intercultural awareness and communication skills - both highly valued by employers.You'll benefit from excellent teaching, student support and cutting-edge study facilities, as well as from the vibrancy and cultural diversity of Manchester itself, Western Europe's most multilingual city.With placement options available at partner universities and in professional environments in several Arabic-speaking countries, a compulsory third year abroad gives our undergraduate students unforgettable and invaluable personal and professional experience.Our course will help you to develop analytical and problem-solving skills. Often dealing with granular and complex data, your combination of humanities and scientific understanding will allow you to make connections across multiple fields of employment.The course unit details listed below are those you may choose to study as part of this programme and are referred to as optional units.
