Course summary

You’ll learn from lecturers who specialise in a wide variety of linguistic disciplines. This includes psycholinguistics, bilingualism, and language and gender. They’ll share their expert insight in the study of sound (phonetics) and speech production. The building blocks that make up human communication. Together, you’ll analyse real life data, transcripts and texts to understand the way we see the world. You’ll even observe how our brain processes language using our digital eye tracking suite. You’ll see where people look when reading text and orally communicating with each other. Many of the modules you do are optional. Specialise in the areas you like most. You could take modules in Teaching English as a Foreign Language. Or use this chance to explore how language is used to solve crimes in forensic linguistics. Another new and exciting field is sociolinguistics. You’ll get to explore how people use language differently depending on the context they are in. Is there a difference between male and female language useLearn about how people make judgements on people’s personalities based solely on their accents and dialects. MediaOur media course blends practical skills and theory with a strong emphasis on media internationally, particularly as we have partners in Malaysia and Egypt to contribute their views. You’ll gain and overview of media theory and practice in the first year, alongside studying basic journalism to give some practical skills, both examining UK and international trends. You’ll benefit from studying near the vibrant media scene in London. You’ll only be a bus ride away from the Warner Bros and Harry Potter Studios in Watford, too. For the days you don’t feel like venturing too far from campus, you’ll be able to use our very own television, radio and media studios. This will give you the chance to practise real-world skills in a safe and constructive environment. Duration- 3 years(4 year with sandwich year)Study abroad optionWork placement option
