Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Comparative Literature and Linguistics] From Queen Mary, University of London

Linguistics complements the study of literature, focusing on how language works and how we communicate. YouÕll develop systematic ways of looking at examples as diverse as youth language in our multilingual cities, or the English used in the media and politics. YouÕll consider how new technologies shape the form of English and whether the spread of English is changing or even killing other languages.

In your first year, youÕll take modules introducing you to various aspects of linguistic and literary theory. The exciting range of optional modules in your second and third years means you can tailor your studies to concentrate on the areas of literature and linguistics that interest you most. You can also extend your degree by studying abroad for a year.
