The broad interdisciplinary training we offer provides our graduates with transferable skills that are greatly sought after by employers for example, students learn to analyse quantitative data, construct abstract grammatical models, and test competing hypotheses. You should also consider if/how changing course may affect any financial support arrangements. If you think you may wish to change course, we encourage you to contact a College admissions office for advice. To be able to change course, you need the agreement of your College that any change is in your educational interests, and you must have the necessary background in the subject to which you wish to change – in some cases you may be required to undertake some catch-up work or take up the new course from the start/an earlier year. Alternatively, it's possible to choose the linguistics options within the Modern and Medieval Languages course. It may be taken either as a two-year course or as a one-year course for those who have taken a two-year Part I.
Part II of Linguistics is also available to some undergraduates who have successfully completed Part I of another course. If you have any queries about resources/materials, please contact the Department. However, depending on the topic they choose, some students may incur some additional costs (eg research trips, payment of volunteers) for their dissertation in Year 3. There are no compulsory additional course costs for Linguistics. Information on tuition fee rates for Linguistics is available on the tuition fees page. Situated within the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages and Linguistics, the Linguistics Tripos benefits greatly from colleagues specialising in the linguistics of particular European and other foreign languages. Linguistics at CambridgeĬambridge Linguistics is internationally recognised, having come third in the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2022. This variety is one of the things that makes linguistics fascinating: one day you might be poring over a medieval text for evidence of how the grammar of a language has changed, and the next, learning about how the larynx creates sound energy for speech, or how we can record brain responses in a categorisation task. For instance, the study of meaning draws on philosophy, the analysis of the speech signal uses methods from physics and engineering, and the study of language acquisition draws on psychology. The study of linguistics draws on methods and knowledge from a wide range of disciplines. Superficially, there’s huge variation among the world’s languages, and linguists not only describe the diverse characteristics of individual languages but also explore properties which all languages share and which offer insight into the human mind. Linguistics is the systematic study of human language.
