General Linguistics - Undergraduate Study
 

To complete a major in Linguistics for the BA or BSocSc, students must gain at least 120 points above 100 level in Linguistics, including LING231, LING301, LING302, and LING304.

To complete a major in Lingistics for the BCS, students must gain at least 120 points above 100 level in Linguistics, including LING231, LING302, LING304, and 20 further points above 200 level. NB: As there will be no new intake within FASS to the BCS degree from 2010, only students who are enrolled in the degree in 2009 and prior may take this major.

To complete a major in Linguistics in other undergraduate degrees, students must include LING231, LING301, LING302, and LING304.

It is recommended that students intending to major in Linguistics include LING131 and LING132 in their programme of study as these papers are prerequisites for compulsory 200 and 300 level papers.

To complete a supporting subject in Linguistics, students must include LING131, LING132, and LING231.

Students wishing to take Linguistics as a major or as a supporting subject are strongly encouraged to include a language skills paper in a language other than their first language in their programme of study. Such a paper would not count as a paper towards a Linguistics major.
