Sarah Decoine

Cristina Garcia Hermoso Senior Teaching Fellow

My top priority is creating opportunities for our students to develop autonomy and self-reliance as well as their allimportant language skills. My research interests are geared towards improving students’ communicative competence. I recently co-wrote a book on the subject, which provides tips and activities for Spanish students to organize texts and use language creatively: Palabras Clave para organizar textos en español, (2019) ed. Routledge.

Elizabeth Gardiner

BA German & Spanish Linguistic Studies, 2017 Translation Project Manager, Parallel Translation “The course was exactly what I wanted - I really wanted to study linguistics alongside my two languages and Southampton is one of the only universities to offer that. There was such a broad range of optional modules within my course that I knew I’d be able to find something I’d enjoy.”

Glyn Hicks

Frank Andrews

Glyn’s research focuses on syntactic theory and the architecture of the language faculty, including models of language acquisition. Glyn teaches modules in linguistics focussing on theoretical approaches to the grammatical properties of language.

Spending a year in Medellín, Colombia, was the highlight of my time at Southampton. I’ll never forget that feeling of possibility. It was a foundational, life-changing, experience, one that few people are lucky enough to have.

Associate Professor of Linguistics

BA Modern Languages (French, Spanish and Arabic) Reporter & Fellow, Arab Reporters for Investigative Journalism

Without my chosen languages I would have been a far less useful volunteer at the refugee camp in Calais, I would never have got onto a Masters in Paris, and I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to work as a journalist in Jordan.

language learning system, from absolute beginner level to near-native speaker

Students using eye tracking software for linguistics research.

How will you learn? Our programmes are mainly taught through lectures and seminars. Lectures are more common in your first year, where the emphasis is on introducing you to fields of study and particular subjects relating to your chosen language/s. These are backed up by seminars giving you the chance to discuss the content of the lectures. In your second and final years most courses are taught in seminars, and the emphasis gradually shifts from tutorled to student-led discussions. We attach great importance to teamwork – both among members of staff and students – as well as to developing your ability to work independently. Tutors are always happy to see you individually to give advice on your work or discuss your assignments. Throughout your time at Southampton we will monitor your progress carefully, and provide opportunities for formal one-to-one consultation with members of staff.

Study abroad You can fully understand and experience what it is like to become truly competent in intercultural communication with our Year Abroad programme. All Modern Languages and Linguistics students – except those taking English as a first foreign language or the three year BA English Language and Linguistics – will spend their third year in a country where one of their chosen languages is spoken. This opportunity is considered central to the intellectual, professional and personal development of language students at Southampton. Most students spend the year in a European country, but many go further afield, and we have links with universities all over the world.

The scope of linguistics is broad and varied, accommodating many different facets of language structure, language use, language change, language acquisition, and language teaching.

EMBARK ON YOUR NEXT ADVENTURE

I had the opportunity to travel to some amazing parts of the world with the money I earned working for the British Council. University has undoubtedly made me a more well-rounded and confident person. I’d have never thought I’d have been able to deliver an assembly in a Secondary School, teach English to teenagers in France or have the confidence to try out new sports, but these are a few of the things that remind me how much I’ve developed in the past few years.” Rory Norrington BA French and Linguistics, Fourth year

It is commonly thought that there is no better way to learn a foreign language than living in a place among native speakers. As part of our Study Abroad programmes you will get the chance to make the most of this once-in-alifetime opportunity to study across Europe, as well as in a range of nonEuropean countries such as Mexico, Colombia China and Brazil. You will embark on an exciting, in-depth investigation of an aspect related to the country or region and will develop crucial research and academic skills, fully equipping you to develop as a linguist and culturally aware professional.

@sotonabroad Follow our students on their Study Abroad adventures

Although the Year Abroad is perhaps the most stimulating experience for a language student, we recognise that adapting to a new way of life abroad can be challenging.

Working as a photographer for non-governmental organisations (NGOs) Tom Price BA Spanish and Portuguese, 2009 MA Transnational Studies, 2010 “I work as a freelance documentary photographer, writer and filmmaker, currently based in Kolkata, India. My work is people-centred, with a focus on inequality and empowerment, especially in women and children. I’ve shot for NGOs like Save the Children, Tearfund and Christian Aid in Brazil, India, and South Sudan.

During my course and year abroad I got to study the work of photographers I now count as major influences on my career, such as Sebastião Salgado. Taking this further, I was able to spend a year in a fine art school in the Universidade Federal da Bahia where I spent time in the laboratory and various field sites. It was the most incredible experience which marked the start of my journey as a professional photographer.”

Students who have applied for a deferred place in 2019/20 will be eligible for the 2020/21 tuition fees and support. If you are a UK student starting a higher education course in 2020/21, you can apply for loans to help pay for both fees and living costs. For more details, visit www.southampton.ac.uk/sb/ fees

EU student fees At the time of print the UK government has not confirmed whether students from the EU will be eligible for UK or international fees. Up-to-date information about fees can be found on our website.

†

Fees for international medical students on the BMBS programme are still to be determined at the time of publication. Prospective applicants can find the latest information at www.southampton.ac.uk/sb/fees

*Annual increases, which are also subject to UK Parliament approval, will apply to institutions demonstrating high-quality teaching and are likely to be in line with inflation. The measure of inflation to be used is Retail Price Index (RPIX) (excluding mortgage interest payments). It is anticipated that increases will apply at the commencement of the second and subsequent years of the degree programme.

We also offer a range of bursaries designed to help UK undergraduate students in the most financial need.** For more details and up-to-date information, visit www.southampton.ac.uk/ bursaries

EPQ Our research-led approach to learning is reinforced in the value we place on an Extended Project Qualification. As the first university to formally recognise the EPQ in its admissions offer scheme, we have always recognised that skills gathered through independent project work and research will enhance and prepare you for your university experience. Equivalent to half an A level, an EPQ requires students to complete a selfdirected and self-motivated project on a topic of their choice.

On most of our courses applicants offering an EPQ will be made two offers – our typical offer based on 3 A levels, and an alternative where, in exchange for an A or A* in the EPQ, we will reduce the A level requirements by one grade. For example, a typical offer of AAA would be made alongside an offer of AAB, plus an A in the EPQ. We also provide free online support on developing EPQ research projects at www.futurelearn.com/courses/ research-project

Interview information Before we extend you an offer to study at Southampton we will invite you to attend an interview day. This is an opportunity to talk in more depth about the course and how it aligns to your interests, skills and knowledge, and a chance for us to get to know you as an individual. It will also allow you to ask any specific questions you might have, and to get a real sense of how you might live and study in Southampton.

This prospectus does not constitute an offer or invitation by the University of Southampton to study at Southampton. It provides an overview of the University and life at Southampton, along with information about all the undergraduate programmes available at the time of publication. This is provided for information purposes only. Applications made to the University should be made based on the latest programme information made available by the University. Relevant weblinks are shown throughout. Please also consult the programme information online for further details or for any changes that have appeared since first publication of the prospectus. The information contained in the prospectus, welcome guides or on our websites is subject to change and may be updated by the University from time to time to reflect intellectual advances in the subject, changing requirements of professional bodies and changes in academic staff members’ interests and expertise. Changes may also occur as a result of monitoring and review by the University, external agencies or regulators.

Find out more: www.southampton.ac.uk/sb/ campuses

The University of Southampton will use all reasonable efforts to deliver advertised programmes and other services and facilities in accordance with the descriptions set out in the prospectuses, student handbooks, welcome guides and website. It will provide students with the tuition and learning support and other services and facilities so described with reasonable care and skill. We undertake a continuous review of our programmes, services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement. We are largely funded through public and charitable means and are required to manage these funds in an efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of the whole of the University community. We therefore, reserve the right where necessary to: – alter the timetable, location, number of classes, content or method of delivery of programmes of study and/or examination processes, provided such alterations are reasonable; – make reasonable variations to the content and syllabus of programmes of study (including in relation to placements); – suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for example, because a key member of staff is unwell or leaves the University); – make changes to our statutes, ordinances, regulations, policies and procedures which we reasonably consider necessary (for example, in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the University’s regulators). Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or, if fundamental to the programme, will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students; – close programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example, because too few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable).

However, any revision will be balanced against the requirement that students should receive the educational service expected. The University’s procedures for dealing with programme changes and closures can be found in our Quality Handbook at www.southampton.ac.uk/quality If the University closes, discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the ‘Change’), the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity. a. If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place, an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application, without any liability to the University, by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change. b. If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling, the student may either: i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits, or ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified. If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university, the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student. c. If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled, the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so. If the University cannot teach out a programme of study, it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university. Any revision will be balanced against the requirement that students should receive the educational service expected. All changes will be managed in line with our Student Protection Plan.

2. Changes to services or facilities

The University will make available to students such learning support and other services and facilities as it considers appropriate, but may vary what it provides from time to time (for example, the University may consider it desirable to change the way it provides library or IT support).

3. Financial or other losses

The University will not be held liable for any direct or indirect financial or other losses or damage arising from such closures, discontinuations, changes to or mergers of any programme of study, service or facility. Upon acceptance by an applicant of an offer of a place at the University, the relationship between the applicant and the University becomes contractual. When the contract is formed between the student and the University it will last for the relevant academic year only unless the student withdraws from the programme or the programme is terminated. Please note: the right of a student to withdraw from a programme of study under the provisions set out in paragraph 1b. above following a Change are in addition to any statutory rights of cancellation that may exist under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. In entering into that contract, the terms of the contract will not be

enforceable by any person not a party to that contract under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

Student Protection Plan As a registered provider of higher education with the Office for Students, we have a Student Protection Plan (SPP) in place, which sets out what students can expect to happen should a course or campus close. The purpose of this plan is to ensure that students can continue and complete their studies, or can be compensated if this is not possible. Full details of the plan can be found at www.southampton.ac.uk/protection-plan

Force majeure The University will not be held liable for any loss, damage or expense resulting from any delay, variation or failure in the provision of programmes of study, services or facilities arising from circumstances beyond the University’s reasonable control, including (but not limited to) war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, interruption in power supplies or other services for any reason, fire, boycott and telecommunications failure. In the event that such circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the University arise, it will use all reasonable endeavours to minimise disruption as far as it is practical to do so provided that such endeavours do not undermine the University’s Quality Assurance requirements.

Admissions Policy and complaints The University will assess applications in line with its then current Admissions Policy. This policy is reviewed at least annually. The Admissions Policy, current at the time of publication, is published online and is available at www.calendar.soton.ac.uk/sectionIV/ admissions.html Before you apply please see subject websites listed for subject-specific terms and conditions. Applicants may raise complaints related to admissions under the University’s Regulations Governing Complaints from Applicants, which can be found at www.calendar.soton.ac.uk/sectionIV/ admissions.html Further information about or clarification of these procedures is available from the Admissions team, Student and Academic Administration, University of Southampton, Southampton SO17 1BJ; enquiry@southampton.ac.uk

Data protection During the application procedure, the University will be provided with personal information relating to the applicant. An applicant’s personal data will be held and processed by the University in accordance with the requirements of the Data Protection Act 2018. Please also see our Privacy Notice for Applicants at www.southampton.ac.uk/about/governance/ policies/privacy-notice-applicant.page
