In the 21st century, as professional work becomes ever more specialized and shaped by the demands of the digital world, there will be a corresponding need for the next generation of graduates to become highly skilled communicators with a capacity to speak and write effectively, eloquently, with cultural sensitivity and technological sophistication – across a range of different media.
The Communications and Linguistics degree will address these issues explicitly by developing your knowledge and understanding of the way in which linguistic processes and practices shape and continue to shape the fundamental contours of culture and society. You will study the syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic dimensions of language, explore the globality of spoken and written English, as well as develop an understanding of the psychological, sociological, and political dimensions of contemporary communications processes and practices.
