Course summary
Explore how language shapes identity. Discover how it's used by different groups of people and in different situations. Investigate how conversations and written texts are organised. Our English language degree explores all aspects of spoken and written English. You’ll take a closer look at its forms and uses. We’ll present insights into how the language adapts and evolves, in how it's used and what it's used for. You’ll shape your learning with optional modules in Years 2 and 3, ranging from the language of Shakespeare to forensic linguistics. In your final year you’ll have the option to complete a dissertation on an area of the English language and linguistics that interests you. During this course, you’ll develop skills in collecting, transcribing and analysing data, and representing and interpreting results. We’ll guide your linguistic research projects to boost your confidence in observation, analysis and critical thinking.
