This new postgraduate course provides you with an exciting opportunity to investigate communication in the context of entrepreneurship and business.
The programme will introduce you to the multidisciplinary dimensions of professional communication, exploring in detail how linguistic analysis can illuminate and enhance communication in businesses and a range of other workplaces.
The principle of language study we have established at Nottingham combines theoretical and ideological dimensions with highly practical applications.
The course explores the role of communication in business-related human affairs using a variety of approaches, ranging from discourse analysis and interactional sociolinguistics to corpus linguistics.
Contents
The programme operates on a modular basis, consisting of two semesters throughout which students pursue a range of taught modules (120 credits) jointly taught by the School of English Studies (SoE) and the Nottingham University Business School (NUBS), followed by a jointly supervised research project undertaken during the summer period.
You will be taught using the latest advances in teaching methods and electronic resources, as well as small-group and individual tuition. Particular features of the programme include:
- a practical grounding in communication analysis and linguistic description
- one-to-one tuition with expert members of staff
- teaching informed by active leading-edge researchers in the field
- innovative and engaging teaching methods
- access to many online resources
All MSc students in the Schools of English and Business join a lively and thriving postgraduate community.
