On this course, youll study one of the key aspects of being human – our ability to use language.<br/><br/>Youll examine how languages differ and what elements they share, as well as developing your knowledge of the historical and cultural aspects of the English language in particular.<br/><br/>The course provides a rare opportunity to combine in-depth formal linguistic study with a consideration of the ways in which the English language is used and how it reflects its social context. As a result, the course nurtures research and analytical skills at the same time as enhancing your own abilities with the English language.<br/><br/>Youll develop your knowledge and understanding of how the English language works in terms of its structure, how it has changed over time and how its employed in different spoken and written contexts. Your knowledge of English will be informed and contextualised by your wider study of language as a human faculty. Youll examine what languages have in common and how they vary in terms of their grammatical structures and their sound systems.<br/><br/>The course appeals to students interested in the nature of the English language and its variants, as well as students interested in language in general and the fundamental role it plays in our understanding of the world around us. It includes practical and theoretical modules that are invaluable for students interested in teaching English, speech therapy, editing, journalism, or advertising, but also helps to prepare you for any career that requires an advanced and sophisticated use of language.<br/><br/>The degree is particularly strong in improving the kind of transferable communicative and cognitive skills that employers need, and will prepare you for life-long personal and professional development.
