In your first year you will also be able to select an optional module that interests you. Study the basics of British Sign Language, or choose to explore multilingualism. As you progress through your degree you will explore more varied and complex linguistic theories.

This could include an exploration of: - Language, gender and sexuality - Forensic linguistics - Speech and language pathology. - Your learning will focus on applying your theoretical knowledge to data you have gathered. This will help you explain how how linguistics applies to everyday situations. We also offer you the opportunity to study for the certificate in teaching English to speakers of other languages (CELTA) for free.
