Learn directly from language and communication experts
Our staff are passionate about how language shapes communication and different cultures. You’ll hone your language skills with tutors who are native speakers and experts in your chosen language(s). You’ll also benefit from the extensive research and real-world expertise they bring to the classroom. With smaller class sizes, you’ll build strong relationships with staff and often have a chance to work as a paid intern on exciting research projects.
Some of our current research includes:
Media accessibility - Using eye-trackers to study how subtitled videos are viewed by audiences, particularly focusing on deaf and hard-of-hearing children.
Gypsy, Roma and Traveller voices – Strengthening the representation of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller music, identity and history, both in the UK and Colombia.
Misunderstanding humour - Examining how people handle offensive humour in online interaction.
Communication and wellbeing for migrant footballers - Investigating how communication and adaptation support for migrant professional footballers in England affects their wellbeing.
