BA (Hons) English Language and Sociology

... United Kingdom
... University of Worcester

Course Overview

Speech and language are integral to our society. By studying the English Language in conjunction with Sociology you will have the opportunity to develop a deep understanding of how and why we behave as we do and how we use language to maintain the world around us. Our blog post 'What is Sociology?' highlights the exciting and original research done by our students.

This joint degree encourages you to see the world from different angles, discuss new ideas, and familiarise yourself with quantitative and qualitative methods of analyzing data and linguistic choices.

Additionally, you will be given the opportunity to obtain the Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA Award; subject to meeting specific criteria at the end of your second year) as part of your degree and you will become familiar with the theory and practice of applied language teaching.

Graduates from this course are prized in careers that require good communication skills and an understanding of the diverse society in which we live. These include publishing, journalism, social services, media, public relations, and business and personnel management.

This course is designed to develop your transferable skills and you can choose to register for a work experience module, take up volunteering opportunities with local and regional organizations, or complete a semester abroad in order to widen your experience.

The CELTA Award built into the course structure provides graduates with the qualifications and skills to teach English as a Foreign Language in the UK and abroad.
