Course summary
Join our expert English Language team and research the extraordinary range of varieties and functions of this global language.
Course overview
Advanced knowledge of grammar and phonology coupled with practical application and exploration of English in context - e.g., language and identity, discourse analysis, English in education - forms the core of our MA course. You will be given expert supervision and guidance in completing your own research-based thesis on a specialist topic of your choosing.
Why study this course with us?
Our cutting-edge MA course is delivered by a dynamic team of linguists, each with their own research specialisms. Our range of expertise includes corpus linguistics (computer-assisted discourse analysis), phonetics and phonology (useful for sociolinguistic research), cognitive stylistics (how our minds process fictional and non-fictional texts) and critical discourse analysis (e.g., ideology in the media).
Assessment
Assessments are tailored for each module and include exercises in grammar and phonetics/phonology, discourse analysis essays, seminar papers (including presentations), discursive essays, extended data collection and analysis projects, portfolio, and an extended thesis (dissertation).
Job prospects
Student job destinations include teaching, work in the media-based industries, speech therapy, librarianship, public relations, marketing, advertising, copywriting, and proof-reading. Some students will also progress onto further research, such as pursuing a doctorate.
