Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - English Language and English Literature with Foundation Year (QQCF)

The Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - English Language and English Literature with Foundation Year is a four-year course with an integrated foundation year which leads to the same qualification as three-year honours degree. It has been specifically designed for students wanting to undertake degree-level study but who may not meet the entry requirements or have traditional qualifications.

This course gives students the opportunity to study two important aspects of the best-described language in the world. They will examine how English works, why and how it is used, and where it has come from.

The English Language component of this degree will give students the opportunity to learn about the grammatical structure of English (e.g., how words and sentences are formed), how meaning is made, interpreted and extended across whole discourses, how sounds are formed, produced, and understood, and how language use varies across speakers and groups and how it changes over time.
