Calling lovers of literature and language. Join us to unpick words on a page while also untangling how the language itself is used in literature. You’ll ask questions about the future – what is the impact of AI-generated language? How is the way we express ideas like gender shifting?
We’ve been the top-ranked research unit in linguistics in the UK for the past 20 years. And our English teaching team is made up of 40 academics who you might have already come across on the radio or TV.
We’ll provide fascinating research insights into the nature of language while looking at the very earliest Anglo-Saxon poems to the latest bestsellers. Our modules also span a wide geography from the East End of London to India.

Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma (first teaching from September 2016)
Queen Mary University of London welcomes applications from students currently studying Level 3 BTEC qualifications and will consider you for entry to the majority of our undergraduate courses. The typical entry requirements will vary according to the course you are applying for. Some of our courses require specific subject knowledge which you may not be able to cover as part of a Level 3 BTEC qualification and we may therefore require additional Level 3 qualifications to ensure that you are suitably prepared for relevant courses. A small number of our courses do not accept BTEC qualifications for entry, either as a standalone qualification, or in combination with other qualifications at Level 3. Information on our typical entry requirements and guidance for applying can be found at http://www.qmul.ac.uk/undergraduate/entry/btec/ If you are at all unsure about the acceptability of your BTEC qualification for entry, please contact the Admissions team for individual advice (admissions@qmul.ac.uk).
