Course summary

English language and linguistics combines the study of the structure and meaning of the English language, past and present, to see what all this tells us about our culture, our society and ourselves. We have been teaching English Language and Linguistics for over 50 years and our staff our international leaders in their fields.

You will have a broad range of career opportunities, drawing on your research skills and knowledge, as well as graduate attributes applicable to a variety of professional contexts Our graduates find jobs in traditional and new media, publishing, marketing, speech therapy and dictionary-making, and many of them teach English as a foreign language, often in Europe, Asia or South America.
