Course summary

This degree explores our dependence on language from different perspectives. In Linguistics, you will learn about the nature and development of different languages. In Philosophy, you will develop your understanding of the philosophy of language, as well as other key philosophical areas like ethics, metaphysics and logic.


Follow your fascination for linguistics down a very different path, as you explore our dependence on language from different philosophical perspectives and apply critical thinking to real word problems.

From linguistics, you'll learn about the nature and development of different languages. From philosophy, an understanding of the philosophy of language, alongside ethics, metaphysics and logic. Using your passion for both, you'll apply yourself to real-world issues, examining topics like global justice, climate change and feminism.As a dual honours student, you’ll be drawing on the resources of both departments. From a solid grounding in both subjects, you’ll go on to pursue the modules that interest you, or perhaps even weight the degree in favour of one subject.You’ll graduate with a unique, enviable mix of skills - grasping the analytical techniques and concepts you need to become a successful linguist, and the high degree of intellectual flexibility that comes from thinking philosophically.
