We are one of the leading centres for the study of English Language in the world. Placed in the top 50 in the QS 2023 World University Rankings, the University of Birmingham is a centre of excellence for both teaching and research in English Language and Linguistics.

We offer expert teaching and research supervision to postgraduates across a wide range of English Language disciplines, both on campus and by distance learning.
