Combining two fascinating subject areas, our BA(Hons) English Language and Linguistics course will give you the knowledge and expertise demanded in a wide range of rewarding careers. Much of what you learn will have a direct, practical application and there is a strong focus on employability throughout.
After an introduction to the core areas of language and linguistics, you will gain specialist knowledge in aspects such as discourse analysis, second language acquisition, teaching English, bilingualism, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, language change, onomastics, rhetoric and creative writing. You will then apply this understanding practically in, for example, forensic linguistics, speech and language therapy, learning and teaching a second language, and analysing spoken discourse.
The course combines an excellent learning environment with outstanding teaching and research. You will be taught by leading academics and published researchers. Our linguistics research was ranked highly in the last Research Assessment Exercise (RAE, 2008) and we achieved 100% overall student satisfaction in the most recent National Student Survey (NSS). |
