The Master’s degree in English Language provides its students with a wide variety of exciting opportunities given the scope and depth that the course content covers. Unlike other programmes of study based solely on theoretical aspects, the MA in English Language enables students to understand the relevance and applicability of the knowledge acquired throughout the course.
Ever since 2013, the taught MA in English Language has been at the forefront, inspiring students to delve deeper into an academically-challenging and enriching environment where students get to appreciate the importance of English as a global language, the power it wields in diverse societies, how it reflects so much about its speakers, and in turn, how it is used by its speakers, affecting just about every layer of societal interaction.
Being at the crossroads between humanities and the social sciences, students following this course will get to choose different areas of interest which may be studied at even greater detail, not only from a theoretical perspective, but by offering the student to investigate and carry out one’s own fieldwork, acquiring valuable interpersonal skills in a particular area of the student’s own choice, whilst adopting an investigative approach to the phenomenon that is the English language with its undeniable strength and affiliation.
From the study of Societal Bilingualism and the use of English in Context, to an investigation of a possible relationship between Language and Gender, the MA Taught Course is a most fascinating and indeed, relevant discipline in the 21st century.
