BA (Hons) English Language and Linguistics/Education Studies

This is a joint honours course, where you study English Language and Linguistics alongside Education Studies. English Language and Linguistics will enable you to explore how language works as a complex system and why English has become the global language of communication. You will examine the ways in which the language, and other forms of meaning, are structured and used for different purposes in a range of contexts – local, national and global.
