English Language Undergraduate Degrees

Studying Linguistics and the English Language, provides you with the comprehensive and integrated content needed to understand the origins and nature of language(s).

Over the course of their degree, students will acquire a range of valuable employability skills such as data handling and analysis, analytical and critical thinking, project and time management, plus the ability to work independently, with a supervisor and as part of a team.
