Discover the inner workings of communication and explore how societies connect through languages. With practical linguistics resources and an immersive year abroad, this course provides significant opportunities to prepare yourself for a career post-university. Study a modern language from beginner or advanced level (French, Italian, Russian, or Spanish), alongside English - a highly complementary and exciting way to contextualise your knowledge in each discipline. Develop your communication skills – understand how language shapes human behaviour, relationships and worldviews. Explore a broad range of specialisms – choose to focus on grammar, pragmatics, historical linguistics, Englishes used worldwide, or in digital media. You’ll be assessed in different ways to suit each module. At the start of a module, you’ll be told how and when you’ll be assessed. Methods will vary but may include coursework (e.g., essays), group or individual presentations and projects, exams, reports or computer-based assignments.
