Course summary

Whether you want to use your communication skills in the media or in the boardroom, our degree course will give you a thorough understanding of how the English language works and how it reflects the most important issues of our times. Explore the power of the English language in communication, and how it expresses and reflects crucial global issues such as ideologies, culture wars, conflict, social justice, equality, diversity, inclusion, and sustainability.Our core modules will give you a broad, interdisciplinary introduction to language and communication, including its psychology and social and cultural impact, and giving you the skills to deconstruct, critically analyse and research texts from many different fields, including media, politics, advertising, and even laboratory experiments.You can then use and further develop these skills while exploring your own areas of interest on our optional modules, including digital media, online journalism, youth culture and podcasting, preparing you for many possible careers in the modern digital world. The modern world is ever-changing, thanks to continual technological and cultural developments, and the English language is changing with it, becoming even more globally-used and more relevant to many new areas of work. Our course recognises this, giving you the skills and understanding that you’ll need in the English language and its use in communication across many emerging areas of work as well as more traditional ones.By learning to systematically identify, describe and analyse spoken and written language phenomena, and critically evaluate the role it plays in shaping sociocultural norms, identities and realities in a range of public and private domains, as well as in relation to globalisation, mobility, sustainability and social justice, you’ll be ready to take on work in the world of politics, business and the media - or even as a social media influencer.
