ENGLISH LANGUAGE

The English Language degree at Liverpool Hope University offers the opportunity to explore the structures, histories, and uses of language in one of the UK’s most linguistically diverse cities. From Liverpool’s distinctive accents and dialects to the bilingual heritage of Chinatown and the Viking influences of the Wirral, the region provides a rich and vibrant backdrop for studying language.

This English Language course equips you with critical, analytical, and digital skills that are valued by employers worldwide. You will study in small groups with international scholars from diverse fields of linguistics, engage with Liverpool’s cultural institutions, and have access to Special Collections, which house rare books and manuscripts dating back to the ninth century.

As part of the English Language degree, students conduct independent research on topics ranging from AI-generated prose to political speech analysis and the history of words. Graduates pursue careers in journalism, law, policing, teaching, education, and postgraduate study, supported by a strong focus on employability, ethics, and sustainability.
