Linguistics International Programme

This four-year programme is essentially identical to the three-year Linguistics BA, but you will have the opportunity to spend an additional year abroad at one of our partner institutions, currently in Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, the Netherlands or the USA (please note that year abroad options are subject to change).

In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 0.5 or 1.0 credits, adding up to a total of 4.0 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 1.0 credit is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).

In the first year your modules are all compulsory, providing a foundation in linguistics and helping you assess where your own interests and strengths lie.

In year two, you will take at least four intermediate modules covering the core areas of linguistics and further optional  modules from any area of linguistics or a combination of linguistics and more widely across UCL.

Your third year will be spent abroad.

In your final year, you will undertake a research project, involving a deep and sustained study of a subject in which you are especially interested. You will also take three advanced modules from the core areas of linguistics and further optional intermediate or advanced modules offered in any area of linguistics. You can also take optional modules offered outside linguistics; for example, many students choose to take language courses taught by the UCL Centre for Languages & International Education.
