Course summary

Our English Language programme aims to develop your understanding of the ways in which language works in the world. You will study the development and uses of the English language in a variety of social, legal, educational and other contexts, and gain insights into the ways in which the language we use in everyday life is shaped by factors such as history, culture and psychology. Your first year of study focuses on building key skills and knowledge to prepare you for more specialised study. You will explore the history, development and contexts of the English language, and will have the opportunity to apply methods of language analysis to literary texts and other media.In your second and final years, you will be able to choose specialist modules in topics such as psycholinguistics, language and gender, the history of English, child language acquisition, language and the law, and teaching English to speakers of other languages. The final year also includes an option to write a dissertation on a research project of your own design, or to do a work placement with an organisation relevant to your degree through the SOTA300 module.This programme is available with an optional year in industry. If this is chosen, year three is spent on a paid placement within an organisation in industry, broadly defined. You will be supported by the School of the Arts and the Department throughout, and your reflexive written account of the experience will contribute towards your final degree result. If you wish to study this programme with a year in industry, please put the option code ‘YI’ in the ‘further choices’ section of your UCAS application form.
