EDUCATIONAL AIMS OF THE COURSE
Single Honours
The general aims of the course are to give students foundational knowledge of the areas of
linguistic theory and its applications. These areas include phonetics, phonology,
morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and discourse analysis. Students will be
enabled to develop an understanding of the theoretical basis of linguistics, to apply
theoretical knowledge to the analysis of language data and to critically judge approaches to
the explanation of language data. The course aims to provide students with the background
to apply linguistic understanding within the local and wider community and be aware of its
applications and create in the student an awareness of European and international
dimensions of language and linguistics. The course will also equip students to identify
opportunities for, plan and undertake research in the field of language and linguistics. The
capacity for critical, analytic and independent thinking in both theoretical and applied
contexts will also be fostered. Throughout, critically reflective skills necessary for continuing
personal development will be engendered.
Language and Linguistics Major
The Major in Language and Linguistics shares the broad aims of the single subject degree:
foundational knowledge of the areas of linguistic theory and its applications; the ability to
develop an understanding of the theoretical basis of linguistics, to apply theoretical
knowledge to the analysis of language data and to critically judge approaches to the
explanation of language data. Students on the major are afforded the opportunity to exploit
the optionality available in the major to specialise in a particularly sub-theme of the degree
adapting their programme of study to either their career aspirations or their chosen Minor
subject. The Major will also equip students to identify opportunities for, plan and undertake
research in the field of language and linguistics. The capacity for critical, analytic and
independent thinking in both theoretical and applied contexts will also be fostered.
Throughout, critically reflective skills necessary for continuing personal development will be
engendered.

Exit awards
At Cert HE level, the subject aims to give students a clear overview of the sub-disciplines of
linguistics and to introduce the students to study at HE level. They will learn to identify the
relevant empirical phenomena and develop skills of linguistic description. At AB level, the
subject aims to develop the students’ grasp of the nature and contribution of theory in
linguistic analysis and to develop their ability to articulate theoretically motivated linguistic
argumentation. AB exit awards in the Major differ from the exit awards in the Single Honours
programme in the extent to which the students have the opportunity to study applied
linguistics as well as the core sub-disciplines of linguistics.
In pursuit of these general aims, the programme will have the following assessable levels of
achievement:
 to achieve an Honours Degree a student must successfully complete 360 credits;
 to achieve an Associate Bachelor’s (AB) Degree a student must successfully complete
240 credits;
 to achieve a Certificate of Higher Education a student must successfully complete 120
credits.

MAIN LEARNING OUTCOMES
The following reference points were used to inform the development of the programme and
its learning outcomes:

The University’s Vision and core strategic aims, teaching and learning strategy and
policies.

Current research or other advanced scholarship carried out by academic staff.

QAA linguistics benchmark statement.

QAA subject benchmark statement for Communication, Media, Film and Cultural
Studies.

Mission statement and division structure of the International Communication Association
(ICA).

National and University qualifications and credit frameworks.
The programme provides opportunities for students to achieve and demonstrate the
following learning articulated at Honours degree, Associate Bachelor’s degree and Cert HE
levels.
The learning outcomes at AB and Cert HE level are referenced with the same number as the
equivalent graduate level version of the learning outcome to allow for cross-referencing.
The annotation in brackets indicates which programmes deliver the learning outcome: SS=
single subject; Maj = Major. Where the annotation is in italics, this indicates that the learning
outcome in question depends on selection of a module that is optional for that programme.
