Additional information

Course Information The course explores how language has developed and its future in a multi-cultural and globalised world; how language structures and defines a range of issues from our sense of self identity, to the way we behave in social situations, and to our sense of regional and national belonging; and how language is inextricably linked to political and social power, for good and ill.  There are opportunities to explore key aspects of contemporary linguistics and to engage with applied linguistic topics to test and extend that knowledge. The research strand of modules allows you to develop your own linguistic research projects and the professional placement modules enable you to see the range of ways that your academic knowledge fits within professional or community contexts. Read our full course terms and conditions.
