Find the right English course for you
Why Study English?
Our courses will give you the opportunity to study a wide range of subjects and allow you to explore and develop your interests and specialisations.
Our English Language introductory and advanced modules will give you a strong foundational background and important scientific insight into the nature, structure and use of language, as well as into the history of English and sociolinguistics (the relationship between language and society).
Our English Literature students are taught by internationally renowned researchers and you will spend time reading creative and critical work in preparation for seminars, working with fellow students to develop and express ideas. Our close links with local theatres, poetry groups and vibrant student societies will give you plenty of opportunities to get involved in arts and culture.
Our Linguistics curriculum has been designed to introduce students to the core / foundation areas (e.g. phonetics, phonology morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics and sociolinguistics). You will benefit from a state-of-the-art learning facility which includes a professional grade sound / recording studio (our Speech laboratory), an eye tracking laboratory, and an event-related potential (ERP) laboratory and a corpus-linguistics resource facility.

0:06 I think this is the absolutely perfect opportunity for our students to
0:10 start and to build their confidence, to develop techniques for liaising or
0:18 or for speaking with employers and it's in a safe environment because it's actually on
0:22 campus. Something for everybody. Be brave make sure that you actually talk to some employers
0:29 and if you ever go to an event like this before make sure that you find out who's going to be
0:34 here and do a little bit of homework so that you can use your time really wisely.

0:42 We were lucky enough to have fairs of this nature but I think I personally went from
0:47 University to the Anglesey council at first just as an administrative role and I would never have got
0:53 that without my degree so it's just a combination of everything. We're looking for graduates who are
0:59 graduating in the summer and there may be openings then to become trainees with us.
1:04 [Music]
1:06 We provide workshop for students ahead of career fairs so that they can get the most out of the
1:12 fair, we try and help them with their networking skills and feeling confident about approaching
1:18 potential employers and what kind of questions that they should be asking. They're very well
1:23 aware that at the end of their academic careers with us that they're going to be competing in a
1:29 labour market with thousands of other students so we want to focus on producing confidence, aspiring
1:35 and resilient students that can effectively compete in the labour market. I think we've
1:39 got a very good mix of employers across many different disciplines that would appeal to a range
1:46 of students that we have within the college and the feedback that we're getting is very positive
1:51 [Music]
1:54 Ask as many questions and actually it's okay to have a different Viewpoint of stuff
1:58 that's what we're trying to promote be curious and find out a different solution
2:02 to problems. I think 全民彩票 is a place close to my heart I'm an ex-student
2:06 here having graduated 26 years ago, I'm thrilled to be able to come and talk
2:11 to people like myself who 26 years ago needed that help and guidance.

0:07 It's really nice after covid to come back and be in one place and meet potential employers face to face and really
0:14 see what's out there. It's hard to ignore all the opportunities that are ahead of me when they're
0:20 literally in the room in front of you and it's so nice to be out and about networking and meeting
0:25 people who have never done it before. Know what you want coming in filter out what you don't want
0:30 look for what you do want. Come prepared and ready to sort of present yourself as an opportunity
0:36 rather than just being given an opportunity, you know have confidence in yourself too. See yourself
0:41 as an asset and sell yourself to these potential employers.
0:48 So at this point, this event is really really crucial for me because I'm in my final year now so I am already looking for a
0:54 graduate job and obviously I've spoken to so many employers to generate leads so when I graduate and
0:59 I've got a pipeline where I'm going to go and I've got a job planned already.
1:04 So my best advice for future students would be to would be literally just get involved take part especially
1:10 in 全民彩票. 全民彩票 has so much to offer, this is going to help
1:14 you build not your academic skills but your interpersonal skills which are really really
1:18 crucial in this competitive job market these days you don't only need academic skill you need
1:23 interpersonal skills as well these activities are a really important part of your studies.

1:32 It's really done well and I would like students to come in and you know like see this fair this festival
1:38 especially I would like to like request all the advice all the you know International
1:43 students to come and see that yes there are more like opportunities than you think there is.
1: 49 [Music]
1:51 So we've been developing like CV work right now so I've had a look at my CV and what sort of things I want to do
1:56 so that's really helped me for future career advice and things like that. It helps students explore different places they can go
2:02 ask questions that tutors or professors may not be able to ask. Come prepared
2:07 that's a massive thing do your research and even if it's just a five minute search into the
2:11 business do it. Don't be worried about asking silly questions because ask any question that you want
2:16 to ask they'll answer anything. Know what you're looking for it's a massive help if you go in there
2:20 with you don't really know what you're going to do your anxiety about this sort of thing
2:24 will go up massively know what you're going to do and you're going to be perfectly fine.
