This programme offers a linguistic perspective on real-world problems of language in use, with a strong emphasis on developing skills and knowledge that can be applied in a wide range of professional settings.


In Applied Linguistics, we draw on knowledge about language, how it works and how it is used in order to contribute to real-life issues.


We examine language and other communicative modes in a variety of social settings, such as:


  • everyday conversation
  • educational settings
  • medical settings
  • digital and social media


We focus on language variability, for example, bilingualism, accents, and dialects versus social diversity (such as gender, class, ethnicity). We also consider how knowledge about language as it is actually used in real social settings can impact people's lives.
