Course summary


Communication is key to understanding the contemporary world and our place within it. To understand language is to empower ourselves for the challenges of the future.

In the 21st century, as professional work becomes ever more specialised 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.With these in focus, the course will offer an interdisciplinary approach to language and communication in order to analyse and explain the complex interrelations between social, political, institutional and technological dimensions of language in its multivariate forms, with a specific emphasis upon the way that an understanding of these is key to unlocking the employability potential of undergraduates in the Humanities for future, high skilled, professional roles.
