Course summary

On this programme, you will examine the nature and functions of language, and gain a deeper understanding of human communication, while learning to use language more effectively. Discover of how language shapes the way we operate as individuals and within society.

At DMU, you will develop skills and knowledge that enhance your ability to understand how communication operates and how to use language effectively. You will be exposed to various theoretical approaches and learn to apply them to your own communications.

You will have opportunities to explore various aspects of education, childhood, and lifelong learning, discussing, debate and question educational structures, policy, practice and theory. Your Education Studies modules will deepen your understanding of how people develop and learn throughout life, as well as enhance your critical engagement with knowledge and ways of understanding.

Our curriculum is rooted in real-world contexts. English, as a language of significant cultural, political, and economic influence, is a key tool for employability, and the ability to use it effectively in any specific context is highly valued. Our graduates have pursued further research in areas like applied linguistics, forensic linguistics, and the language of coercive control, and have built careers in media, publishing, teaching, marketing, and the Civil Service.

  • Study the richness of human language and communication in its spoken, written, and digital form, and develop your ability to analyse and produce digital communication.
  • Work with and learn from active researchers whose work (in areas such as World Englishes, corpus linguistics, pragmatics, gender and sexuality, information warfare, and education) directly informs your course.
  • Experience a wide variety of teaching and assessment methods – not just ‘chalk and talk or ‘death by PowerPoint. This will include writing reports, performing analyses, producing group and individual presentations and blogs, and engaging in simulation or roleplay exercises -moving beyond traditional lectures and essays.
  • Gain transferable skills in critical analysis, independent and collaborative work, and research through innovative teaching and varied assessment methods.
