Education

Linguistics strives to identify the common properties of languages by studying their formal properties, their history, their diversity, their learning, and their pathologies. The UFR de Linguistique (UFRL) offers training in linguistics (Sciences du langage SDL) at the bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral levels.

Bachelor’s Degrees

 

 We offer the third year of a bachelor in linguistics (in French Licence 3 or L3 for short), divided into three distinct programs:

  • Theoretical and Experimental Linguistics,
  • French as a Foreign Language
  • Computational Linguistics.

It is possible to access the L3 after two years of higher education. Without waiting for the L3, it is possible to discover linguistics by taking the “bilicence lettres et sciences du langage” or by taking discovery courses in L1 and L2.
