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.
Thank you to everyone who participated in this year's programme—certificates of participation have been sent to individual emails!
