Language, Logic and Communication

Uncover and dissect the components that make human communication so special. Through analysing human interactions, you’ll attain a rigorous scientific understanding of how language and communication work, enhancing your ability to communicate effectively. At the same time, you’ll improve your ability to understand and explain complex arguments by using specialist techniques to systematically deconstruct ideas with mathematical precision. Using the latest tools and technology, you’ll examine language in meticulous detail—revealing a new level of understanding that has the potential to change the way you see the world. By learning to think methodically and construct coherent arguments, you're going to improve your ability to express yourself confidently and clearly in professional, academic and social situations. Exposure to a diverse range of topics and ideas will nurture personal and technical skills that open up a world of opportunities for you. You could go on to use your linguistic knowledge to help people as a speech therapist, apply your data analysis skills to guide the government in a public sector job or utilise your creative problem-solving abilities to lead a team in any industry. Broad experience and practice tackling complex ideas will also be an ideal platform if you decide to go on to postgraduate study.
