BA Linguistik/Language Sciences at University of Bremen

The objective of Language Sciences is to grasp and explain the general principles according to which the world's languages are learned and applied in communication. This entails inquiry into which model best describes linguistic factors and which cognitive and social conclusions can be drawn from the analysis of language(s). Within the framework of Applied Linguistics there is an equally important focus on how to successfully deal with the knowledge thus obtained in non-academic occupational fields.
