Exciting news! Term 1 was a success, and we're looking forward to continuing the journey in Term 2! We are a short training programme for students of all levels with a goal of introducing students to a broad range of topics in linguistics. With even more modules this year, we're covering a wider range of topics like Syntax, Semantics, Pragmatics, Morphology, and Psycholinguistics.
We're excited to announce that information for Term 2 is now available! These 5-session courses will run across all three terms and are free to attend and open to everyone. Whether you're accompanying your MA studies or just looking to dive deeper into these fascinating areas, we've got you covered.
