We are a short training program, organized by UCL Linguistics PhD students, aimed at introducing students of all levels to a broad range of linguistics topics. With even more modules this year, we're covering a wider range of topics like Syntax, Semantics, Pragmatics, Morphology, and Psycholinguistics.
These 5-session courses will run across all three terms and are free to attend and open to everyone. Whether you're accompanying your studies or just looking to dive deeper into these fascinating areas, we've got you covered.
Great news! After talking with the department, we are now able to issue Certificates of Completion to anyone who's attended the modules. We've reached out to Term 1 and Term 2 students for the logistics (check your email!). Starting Reading week, we'll have a way to track attendance so that we can issue individual certificates including the modules you've taken.
And/or join our mailing list now to stay updated for more schedules and future events.
