What the college says

A study of English Language is a study of how we communicate with each other through a language that is in a constant state of flux, with new words, dialects and technologies appearing and disappearing all the time. Our students also learn the frameworks of language that remain constant and lend English its remarkable ability to adapt and be adapted across the world. We place a particular emphasis on social contexts and how these influence the language we use - whether this is technology, gender or power in society, or historical setting, and even the way humans acquire language. It is a fascinating course.
