Studying linguistics at the Leiden University Centre of Linguistics (LUCL) is a challenging but rewarding experience. There are few places in the world where such a broad range of languages are studied from so many different perspectives.

Discover the miracles of human language by studying the formal grammar of Chinese tense, for example. Or perhaps you would like to learn more about the etymology of Indo-European languages? Why not immerse yourself in the new dialects emerging in urban Africa? At LUCL you will find the expertise and enthusiasm to guide you on this discovery into the field of linguistics.
