Overview Language is central to how we think, create, and reason. Studying with us, you’ll discover the foundations of the English language including sound, structure and meaning, along with discourse, style, and vocabulary. You’ll also study sociolinguistics, examining the diversity of English around the world and how it’s learned by children and non-native speakers. Our work provides vital insights into the nature of language, as well as into the role language plays in shaping our identity and how we interact with others. Throughout the course, you’ll also hear from guest speakers with backgrounds in speech and language therapy, film and acting, government, and more.
Explore structure and formPractical skills are key to this course. You’ll develop and hone your skills in transcribing English using the International Phonetic Alphabet, analysing its structure and variations in form, alongside strengthening your academic writing and critical thinking. In your final year, you'll carry out original data analysis, focusing on an area of the English Language that interests you such as digital communication, language and gender, or communication disorders. From BBC London to the Cabinet Office, our graduates find a range of exciting career destinations. Where will our English language degree take you?

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).
