BA (Hons) English Language and Applied Linguistics (2+2)
This degree is one of the first UK English language programmes in China. It aims to equip students with the highest English communicative and critical skills, combined with a thorough understanding of western linguistic theory and applied analyses. It also helps the students develop their own communicative ability in English - oral and written - at the highest level for international interactions, whether academic or professional. In addition to standard theories of language, this degree provides students with a sophisticated understanding of how language is used in context and influenced by purpose, setting and audience.
The first two years are shared with the sister degree, BA in English Language and Literature.
Year One (Preliminary Year Programme - Ningbo)

Year Two (Qualifying Year - Ningbo)
Students are introduced to standard theories of language and explore various contexts of language in use. They are also introduced to modern literature and develop advanced language skills.
