An understanding of our language enhances our self-awareness, inspiring us to address fundamental questions about our communication as human beings; and this is epitomized in literature.
Our course provides a sound foundation in linguistic and sociolinguistic aspects of the structure and use of modern English and offers you the chance to study a range of literary genres and approaches to literary criticism.
