Program details
Overview
Linguistics is the scientific study of human language, covering how people learn and use language and the properties common to languages worldwide. The Bachelor of Arts programme in the Faculty of Arts covers core areas including phonetics and phonology (sound structure), morphology (word structure), syntax (sentence structure), and semantics (meaning), alongside elective coursework in topics such as bilingualism, sociolinguistics, dialectology, and language acquisition. Course examples include Phonetics, Computational Linguistics, and Introduction to Speech Science. Students can pair the major with minors such as Psychology, Educational Psychology, Behavioural Science, or a language minor, and the programme is commonly combined with related majors including Computer Science, Sociology, and Psychology. Graduates typically pursue further study or careers in fields such as language teaching, translation, speech-language pathology, and speech technology, many of which require postgraduate study.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants apply through the Faculty of Arts. McGill's admission requirements vary by educational background (Quebec CEGEP or high school, Ontario high school, other Canadian high school, U.S. high school, international curricula, home-schooling, university transfer, or mature-student status) and by the specific programme; grades equal to or above published minimums do not guarantee admission, and the review may consider the complete academic record.
