What the college says

A Level English Language is an exciting and integrated course in which students learn to be ‘language scientists’, collecting and examining examples of language from different contexts and testing different theories and ideas about how language works. The course is essentially a study of social linguistics and you will discuss the reasons for the variations in ways people speak and communicate. English students acquire strong research skills, which makes them suitable for a researching role while working behind the scenes on television, or radio or even as an archivist or librarian. Surprisingly the largest percentage of recent English graduates went into Business Management or Marketing training schemes.
