Programme overview

This degree in English Language focuses on developing highly employable bi-lingual individuals with marketable skills for potential employers. Apart from its vocational applications, it provides candidates with rigorous intellectual education, valuable in training them to analyze perceptively and critically, to reason effectively and express themselves clearly and rationally. Professions that require expertise in English Language include, but are not restricted to Translation, Journalism & the Media, Publishing, Human Resources and Public Relations.

Programme Objectives:

The general goals of the BA (Hons) in English Language have been to produce graduates with excellent communication skills in English language; and secondly, to ensure that those graduates are also able to describe, appreciate and analyze the language in the great variety of forms in which it occurs – spoken and written, formal and informal, in different contexts, genres and by different speakers. The first goal means improving proficiency to high levels; the second requires a thorough background in the subfields of theoretical linguistics.
