Why Warwick

About the department

This degree combines a broad grounding in Psychology with the systematic study of Linguistics. Psychology is the scientific study of human mental states, processes, and behaviour. This is complemented by linguistics, which focuses on the structure and function of language, and the relationships between language and society. Overall, this degree maintains a strong practical research focus.

This course is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) (75% Psychology, 25% Linguistics).

You will be taught by academics who are shaping the field internationally within both Psychology and Linguistics, and those working at the intersection of both subjects.

Along with the critical awareness of psychological research and theory, you will get the opportunity to analyse the structure and patterns of language through fields such and phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, and the interactions between language and society.

You will also develop practical transferable skills such as communication, research, presentation, and collaboration skills.

Further details are available in the standard offer and conditions for the IFP.

Read more about entry requirements

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 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.

In year one you will study six core modules: five that build the foundations of Psychology at Warwick as well as ’Linguistics: Understanding Language’.

In year two you will study seven modules. You will cover the core areas of Psychology and contemporary research with the opportunity to delve deeper into the areas that interest you. You will also develop further knowledge and understanding of Linguistics. All relate to contemporary research.

In year three you will conduct an individual project showcasing the full range of intellectual and practical skills you have developed throughout your degree.

Note that information found by following the links to the module catalogue is subject to change for future years of study, as we evolve our courses in response to the latest developments in academia and industry.

Your final award will be based on:

Year two modules (40%)

Year three modules (60%, with 25% accounted for by your third-year individual project)

Study abroad

Studying abroad provides you with a first-hand opportunity to explore how culture influences psychological processes and develop a range of valuable skills that give you a competitive advantage in the graduate market.

Our Department is part of the University’s large global network of exchange partners, with long-standing agreements with prestigious universities around the world. A particularly popular Warwick option is with Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, acknowledged as one of the world’s top universities.
