Your first year of studying English language at Aston will give you a broad introduction to language and meaning, to the influence of form and context and to the role of language in society. In the second year, alongside core modules, you can pick the elective modules that interest you the most – such as Language in the News Media, the Language of the Law, Stylistics and Creative Writing. These modules are designed to equip you to describe the features of spoken and written language in technical detail, as well as collecting, managing and working with linguistic data. In the final year, you can choose from a wide range of elective modules to suit your interests and/or career plans, whether you see your future in education, business, law or elsewhere. You will also produce a substantial piece of individual work in the form of a dissertation on an agreed topic of your choice. **Key benefits** - As part of your degree you’ll have the option to undertake a professional placement year, gaining valuable practical experience that employers demand. - The ‘BSc (Hons) English Language’ course at Aston University scored 94 per cent for overall student satisfaction (National Student Survey, 2020). - 100 per cent of students on the ‘BSc (Hons) English Language’ course agreed that the course was intellectually stimulating (National Student Survey, 2020). - Employed Aston English graduates earn £3,600 (15 per cent) more than the UK average, five years after graduation (Longitudinal Education Outcomes, 2020). - English at Aston was ranked 1st in the UK for ‘student to staff ratio’ (Guardian, 2020).
