English Language and Linguistics (Foundation Entry)
Course Summary
**Course Overview**
- Take a deep dive into the English Language – exploring how it works as a structure, and how it can be used in social settings – on our course.
- Foundation Entry degree courses are ideal if you’ve got the ability to study for a degree, but don’t have the necessary formal qualifications to directly join an honours programme. It’s a great stepping stone to a full degree.
- Our programme is very flexible and there are two pathways: a standard pathway and a Teaching English as a Second Language (TESOL) pathway.
- You’ll have a lot of choice on this course. There are modules to suit any interest – from language structure to the teaching of language, language and gender, and forensic linguistics.

- English Language is ranked 1st in the UK for Assessment and Feedback - National Student Survey (NSS) 2020.
- Linguistics at the University is ranked in the UK's top 20 - the Complete University Guide 2020.
- We’re a small and dedicated team, so we’ll get to know you well, and some of our researchers are deemed world leading in their fields.
