With this course, you’ll take the theories and principles of linguistics and communication out into the real world, to see how the words we use and the decisions made around language shape lives, workplaces, communities and cultures.
Using a blend of cognitive, social, discursive and critical theoretical approaches, you’ll develop research skills specific to your chosen field, so you can investigate how language functions in the everyday life contexts and situations that are most relevant to you.
Here at the UCL Centre for Applied Linguistics, you’ll work alongside pioneering academics and researchers who are redefining how we understand language, language education, and communication.
Firstly, you’ll acquire the foundations, the frameworks and the tools pertinent to the study of Applied Linguistics. You’ll also explore the ‘bigger picture’ of language and communication, looking beyond theory to understand how cultural, historical, political and economic factors shape meaning.
Then you’ll choose optional modules to focus on your areas of interest. You could explore how bilingual brains work, or the way we use language to persuade or achieve social and workplace outcomes. You might even explore linguistic approaches for more effective human and non-human interaction.
As part of a diverse, international cohort of professionals and graduates from all over the world, students on this course will have the opportunity to gain global perspectives that broaden their intercultural understanding. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of how language and communication works in both local and international settings, how language policies and processes vary from place to place, and you’ll build an international network of peers.
You’ll graduate with extensive expertise in how language affects cognition and shapes discourse – and the tools to apply this expertise in the relevant industry of your choice.
