Psychology and Language Sciences

About this course

Psychology and language sciences is a degree that brings together two disciplines fundamentally concerned with what is most distinctively human: our minds and our capacity for language. Psychology provides a scientific framework for understanding cognition, perception, memory, emotion, development, and social behaviour, drawing on experimental and observational research to build evidence-based theories about how the mind works. Language sciences, which encompasses linguistics and the study of communication, asks how language is structured, how it is acquired, how it is processed in the brain, and how it shapes and is shaped by social and cultural life. Together the two disciplines develop a rich and integrated understanding of the human mind.
