This degree combines a broad grounding in Psychology with the study of how people communicate through language. You’ll be taught by academics who are shaping the field internationally within both Psychology and Linguistics, and those working at the intersection of both subjects. You’ll gain a critical awareness of psychological research and theory the ability to analyse the structure of language and patterns of language plus communication, research, presentation and collaboration skills. The focus of the course is Psychology, allowing students to cover the critical elements of the BSc Psychology programme whilst covering specialist Linguistics modules. This allows you to achieve a BPS accredited degree with a language and linguistics skew.The Linguistics modules not only introduce you to the structure of language, but also emphasise psycholinguistics (how adults learn a second language and how children learn the first language) and language use in real world contexts (how people get their message across in different social settings). Topics covered reflect Warwick’s unique research expertise in areas such as bilingualism, nonverbal behaviour, and cross cultural communication.
