From teaching, to business, marketing, campaigns and lexicography, knowledge about English is essential. Language is fundamental to human nature and society, and English is playing an increasingly important role in a globalised world. 

This unique course will equip you with the linguistic knowledge, critical awareness and language skills necessary for building or enhancing a career in a number of TESOL and language-related fields, including teaching English as a second or foreign language, interpretation, counselling and social work as well as in health settings and third sector roles.

For those wishing to specialise in teaching, the degree serves as ideal preparation for further training to become a teacher. It combines learning about TESOL and language acquisition with insights into English in business, marketing, and campaigns, providing a strong foundation in English for Specific Purposes. Additionally, this degree enhances your linguistic knowledge, giving you a competitive edge in the workplace more generally.

Undertaking a professional work placement or a CELTA will be a springboard to your future career. You will be supported to source a placement in a school, with a charity, or in a role where a focus on language is relevant. Alternatively, you may choose to complete a CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) with an authorised CELTA Centre (this option involves an additional cost and is subject to being accepted onto their course).
