Language and Communication

In this one-year programme you will study various aspects of language, including the role of words, grammatical constructions and texts. You will also look at the role of language in influencing people's ideas, in regulating social relations, in co-ordinating actions and in exchanging information. In addition, you will study how language interacts with culture and with institutions in communication, as well as with different media – not only speech and writing, but modern media as well – and how language changes in the process. You are free to choose courses from the rich variety of language programmes in Leiden – with eighty different languages from all over the world – or courses from other universities in the Netherlands.
