BA (Hons) English Language

Over the course of three years, this English language degree will deepen your understanding of the fundamentals of language, its historical development, and its role in constructing identities, social relations and practices.

As you move into the second and third year of your degree, you’ll be given the chance to specialise in the areas of language that interest you most, tailoring your studies to your personal aspirations and career goals. You’ll study language in a unique range of contexts, asking questions from how children acquire language to how the media manipulates us. You’ll also broaden your learning experiences with modules in related subjects like English literature, creative writing, and politics.
