Why study Applied and Forensic Linguistics at Canterbury Christ Church University?

Participating in this course gives you the opportunity to strengthen your theoretical knowledge of the formal aspects of the English language and non-verbal communication, while at the same time exploring how these aspects pertain to legal and regulatory contexts, from bills, laws and regulations to courtroom interaction and using language as evidence in the forensic process. As part of your degree, you will see how language is used and researched in legal and other professional contexts; the practical component of the degree will give you the opportunity to put into practice what you have learnt in and by reflecting on and analysing the impact of language in law and regulation.
