Language, Culture and Communication with Intercalated Year BA

Course overview

Warwick's Language, Culture and Communication degree is a globally unique interdisciplinary program that brings together insights from applied linguistics, culture research and communication science to better understand the complex and unique challenges humans overcome as they communicate with one another.

As well as gaining a greater understanding of how language is used to accomplish human communication, students will be encouraged (through module assessments) to actively put this knowledge into practice as they seek solutions to some of the intercultural and communication issues encumbering the world today.

While understanding language use and communication are the central focus of this degree, students will engage with a multidisciplinary collection of theories and tools from linguistics, intercultural communication, sociology, and social psychology.

Our BA in Language, Culture and Communication prepares students to forge careers in a wide array of communication-related professions and, with an emphasis on culture, it has been particularly successful in preparing students for a rewarding career in the international marketplace.

Study abroad

If you wish to study abroad, this will take place in your third year, meaning that you will complete your degree in four years instead of three. You will be able to design a study-abroad experience at one of Warwick’s partner universities to complement your academic and professional development. Eligibility for study abroad is contingent upon meeting departmental academic requirements.

The Student Mobility Team offers support for these activities, and the Department's dedicated Study Abroad Co-ordinator can provide more specific information and assistance. Students who elect not to complete the year abroad, or who do not academically qualify for it, will complete the course as a three-year programme.

We welcome applications for our International Foundation and Undergraduate courses from applicants from Jordan.

High School qualification is not considered for entry. We would require completion of an approved international foundation programme, such as the Warwick International Foundation Programme. Alternatively IB, A Levels, or other European or North American system will also be considered.

If you need any advice or guidance on the qualifications above, our Middle East and North Africa Team are here to help. Contact them at mena@warwick.ac.uk.

See our Jordan Country Information page for guidance, contacts and upcoming events in your country.
