Program overview
A four year honours degree combining language science with practical language study, covering phonetics, syntax, bilingualism and acquisition of a chosen modern language, with a year abroad.
Pairing linguistics with a spoken language gives both the theory of how language works and genuine fluency in one, which few degrees do together.
Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Linguistics and Modern Languages is taught at Bangor University, a public university in Wales with full degree awarding powers. Because the linguistics and modern languages degree is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after you finish. No job offer or sponsor is needed for the linguistics and modern languages degree, but you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. Your student visa covers the length of the linguistics and modern languages degree plus a short period afterwards. UK rules from January 2024 bar a dependant partner or child on taught courses, so the linguistics and modern languages degree does not support a family move.
The academic bar for Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Linguistics and Modern Languages is Class 12 or equivalent with 70 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.0 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for the linguistics and modern languages degree is recorded at GBP 18,000. Bangor charges no application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the linguistics and modern languages degree. The linguistics and modern languages degree lists only two entry windows a cycle. Apply Study Visa manages your the linguistics and modern languages degree application, the deposit, the offer, the CAS and the UK student visa as one process.
