In Linguistics, this focuses on how we learn a language, how language varies between speakers and geographic regions, and how it influences thinking and the ways in which we interact we each other. Psychology helps you understand how, why and what happens when our brain and body systems stop working so well, are damaged, or develop in divergent ways.
Our internationally recognised research into language and cognition covers applied and theoretical specialisms. These include acquisition, processing, comprehension, disorders and atypical language development, use, structure, variation, change, communication, maintenance, preservation, teaching, and speech and language technologies.
Psychology has been taught at Bangor University since 1963. Welcoming students from all over the world, we provide a multicultural environment in which to study human behaviour, taught by internationally renowned staff at the forefront of research to promote psychological wellbeing at all stages of life.
Psychology modules range from clinical psychology and mindfulness to disorders of literacy, counselling, brain degeneration and substance abuse. In Linguistics, you can explore more advanced and applied aspects of English language and linguistics such as language acquisition, discourse analysis, corpus linguistics, psycholinguistics, languages in contact or historical change.
