Course summary

This joint programme enables you to take a range of courses in psychology and linguistics.


Psychology

Psychology courses cover the scientific study of the mind, brain, and behaviour and it is an experimental and observational science. It uses evidence from research studies to develop and evaluate theories. Our psychology courses have a strong emphasis on developing skills in research methods and statistical analysis using R programming. This supports our research-led teaching. Psychologists study: how we perceive, think and learn about the world around us the way biological and social factors influence how we behave how interests and abilities differ from person to person how we communicate verbally and non-verbally how and why our mental abilities change across our lives


Linguistics

Linguistics examines how language works. It describes how sounds, words, sentences and conversations combine to express and create meaning. It also studies: the uses of language in everyday life the ways in which language varies across society and evolves over time how language is mastered by children
