Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Linguistics and the English Language

A three year honours degree in language science focused on English, covering phonetics and phonology, syntax, sociolinguistics, language change and a final year project.

Studying English through the lens of linguistics is analytical rather than literary, which suits a different temperament from the literature routes.

Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Linguistics and the English Language is taught at Bangor University, a public university in Wales with full degree awarding powers.

Your student visa covers the length of the linguistics and English language degree plus a short period afterwards. UK rules from January 2024 bar a dependant partner or child on taught courses, so the linguistics and English language degree does not support a family move.
