This course consists of linguistics modules and students will learn about the legal and forensic contexts as well. Students will explore how linguists have developed understandings and critiques of the language of the law and methods of analysis to provide evidence in a variety of legal contexts. Students will take part in interactive seminars, presentations and group work as well as attending lectures and tutorials. There are also opportunities for individual research and supervised practical work. Successful completion of the taught modules is a precondition for proceeding to a 15,000 word dissertation leading to the MA. The course is for students interested in a career in research in this important and growing area, or those whose existing careers would be advanced by specialised training.
