Course summary

The MA English Language offers you the opportunity to study in depth the range of topics, themes and frameworks that underpin the contemporary discipline of English Language. In addition to coverage through taught modules of the broader field, you will undertake your own research project, within your chosen specialist topic, through the Dissertation component. The programme offers a distinctive set of modules in English Language, all of which have a strongly ‘applied dimension in that they focus on how language is used in a range of real contexts of use. It develops methods and techniques for undertaking research into English language and students can apply these skills to investigate subjects and topics of their choice. The programme includes modules which develop specific skills in language analysis, such as functional linguistics and corpus linguistics. By contrast, other modules focus on major themes in English language study, including the history and development of linguistics as a discipline. The programme also includes a module which examines the relationship between language and identity and which investigates the representation of different voices and experiences through language. It is hoped that some students will consider progression from this new Masters course into PhD level work.
