Program Description For students who've finished high school but don’t meet the entry requirements for university, a Foundation Certificate can help them gain entry to an undergraduate degree. After completing this pathway option students qualify for progression to the 1st year of an undergraduate degree at the University of York. A student’s course length is determined mainly by their English language level (UKVI IELTS score). Students on all course lengths take a set of common or similar modules to gain a solid base of skills for university. Students taking a course longer than 2 terms, will take additional modules designed to improve one or more of their English language level, academic skills, and basic knowledge of particular subjects. Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Linguistics Language is a window on the mind. It is how people express themselves, and is the essence of what makes people human. In studying linguistics students will be learning the science behind how humans communicate. Students will engage with the study of language on a conceptual level as well as the detailed level of raw linguistic data. They'll study syntax, semantics, phonetics, phonology and sociolinguistics, taught by world-leading academics whose expertise covers a range of areas of linguistics. The combination of theory and practice will stimulate students' critical thinking skills, foster their originality, and enable them to become a uniquely skilled analytical thinker and problem-solver. Their knowledge and understanding of how a language works, and how people communicate, will give them a solid foundation for many careers. This flexible course gives students opportunities to customise their studies from the second year onwards.
