About the course

Apply for this course

From the sounds children make to the way people speak to the elderly; from media spin to everyday conversations, linguistics examines the structure and use of language. This programme takes a lively hands-on approach and, at every stage, focuses on the language that is relevant to you and to modern-day society.

  • We specialise both in theoretical linguistics and in sociolinguistics, the inter-relationship between language and society. We pay attention to "real language".
  • Our staff contributed to research judged to be of national and international importance in the latest Research Assessment Exercise
