Description
Management and Business are among the leading degree course choices as they offer excellent academic training with good career prospects. Combining Business Administration with English Language and Linguistics gives you a key understanding of the business world, alongside an understanding of the mechanics of language - faciliating communication in business.
A Business Administration degree provides you with the academic foundation you need for a career in business or management. The programme equips you with the fundamental skills and knowledge essential for managing the key areas of organisations: accounting, human resource management, quantitative methods, marketing, strategy, and operations management.
English Language and Linguistics gives you the opportunity to discover spoken and written language in all its complexity. Language plays a central role in everything we as human beings do, and this programme explores its many facets, allowing you to tailor your studies to suit your individual interests and possible career paths. While the focus will be on English, you will also explore the meaning of language more generally, and discover what language systems have in common.
Combining theoretical and practical elements, the programme explores both the structure of language and its relationship with culture, society, and the mind. A broad choice of theoretical topics encompasses such areas as syntax, phonetics and phonology, morphology, sociolinguistics, language acquisition, semantics, pragmatics, literary stylistics and critical and cultural theory, while modules in language learning and teaching, creative and media writing, and language and media have a more vocational focus.
