The world in one place

92% of our Languages and Linguistics postgraduate graduates are in employment or further study (Graduate Outcomes 2024)

If you want to delve deeper, scrutinise and rigorously test the accepted thinking in language and linguistics, welcome home. We expect you to debate and engage with our research community, contributing to knowledge in the discipline.

Our research feeds directly into what we teach you in the classroom to ensure you have the best learning experience. Your classes are small so you benefit from intensive, personal teaching and throughout your course, you have access to our great facilities, including a state-of-the-art interpreting lab with equipment matching that of the UN.

If you want a global outlook, are interested in human communication, and want to study for a degree with real-world practical value in a world-class department, welcome to Essex.
