Course overview
Our BA in English Language and Linguistics at Swansea University offers a dynamic and comprehensive exploration of how language works, how it's used, and how it shapes our social and cultural worlds. This degree equips you with the analytical tools to investigate the structure of English, from its sounds and grammar, to the meanings it conveys across genres, registers, and real-world contexts.
You'll learn how language is acquired, taught, and used in everyday life, with a strong emphasis on the social, cultural, and ethical dimensions of communication. The programme also addresses the responsible and effective use of emerging technologies, including AI, in language related fields.
Through the study of authentic texts and discourse, students develop an understanding of how linguistic choices reflect and influence meaning. Graduates will emerge with strong communication, research and analytical skills, preparing you for careers in education, publishing, media, language technology, and beyond.
