What the college says

The course is wide-ranging in content, covering aspects of language study as diverse as language change over time to the acquisition of children?s speech. Whilst the majority of the course is exam-focused, there is also the opportunity for independent, investigative research. The non-exam assessment also includes a creative writing element. The course incorporates a variety of assessment styles, such as data analysis, discursive essays, directed writing, original writing and research-based investigative writing. This allows students to develop a wide range of skills, which include critical reading, data analysis, evaluation, the ability to develop and sustain arguments, and a range of different writing skills that are invaluable for both further study and future employment.
