About this course
The first three years of this course are the same as for Linguistics BA (Hons). If you choose this 4-year option you will focus on Bilingualism (Linguistics MArts or Cognitive Linguistics MArts are also options), during which you will take three postgraduate-level modules and complete a dissertation on a research topic closely linked to your chosen field. The aim of the fourth year is to develop your academic and transferrable skills and to increase your employability.
