We will introduce you to approaches and methods from fields such as postcolonial studies, book and publishing studies or gender studies as well as sociolinguistics, corpus linguistics, phonetics or language acquisition studies. Our degrees will prepare you for a wide range of careers, in education, research, and the private sector.
