What our students think

The life of a research PhD student is very independent, you have to be organised and disciplined since, ultimately, it is yourself who dictates the pace of the investigation.

Linguistics is extremely interesting and a wide subject, offering a wide array of areas to explore. A thoroughly worthwhile endeavour, and one that, if you also use all the opportunities open to you to develop your transferable skills, offers good chances to find employment both within and outside of academia.

I’m definitely enjoying the work and appreciate all the support I get from the staff here, it’s very motivating.

If you want to work in a small but diverse faculty alongside people conducting innovative research, there are few places that can rival Southampton.

Southampton is very highly regarded and respected for modern languages and the staff are among the best.
