English Language & Linguistics / Psychology, MA (Hons)

The study of English Language and Linguistics explores the structure and meaning of the English language across history, offering insights into culture, society, and human identity. Over the past 50 years, we have developed the world-renowned Historical Thesaurus of English, a distinctive resource that traces the evolution of its vast vocabulary. Students also gain access to specialized laboratories for analyzing spoken and written language.Psychology is the scientific examination of the mind and behavior, focusing on how individuals think, act, react, and interact. This discipline equips psychologists to support people individually and address broader societal issues through research and professional applications. A psychology degree opens endless career opportunities, thanks to the acquired skills in psychological literacy and analysis. Our department unites global experts in experimental psychology, cognitive science, and cognitive neuroscience to advance knowledge of human and animal behavior.
