Course Overview
Studying this course, you’ll develop an in-depth understanding of the English language and its uses. You’ll also learn about the importance of language in communication at personal, public, group and cross-cultural levels.
Our work placement module allows you to develop your communication skills in a professional setting. By the end of the course you’ll feel ready to move into one of the many occupations where a strong command of the English language and communication skills are highly valued.
The BA English Language and Linguistics provides a range of study and subsequent career options. You can ‘mix-and-match’ the option modules to reflect your interests, or you can select one of three pathways broadly corresponding to three of the main areas covered in the degree: the English Language Teaching Pathway, the Communication Pathway and the Applied Linguistics Pathway. All three pathways provide a sound basis for the study of English Language and Linguistics.
The English Language Teaching Pathway offers theoretical instruction and practical training for the teaching of English as a foreign language, including the internationally recognised CELTA teaching qualification. The Communication pathway provides background in communication studies, including intercultural and professional communication.
