Our work plays a key part in the large-scale, faculty-wide research programme in Language, Cognition and Communication. Each course within Metaphor in Discourse involves an element of individual research and collaborative efforts with other students.

At the heart of a Graduate School
As MA student in Communication and Information Studies you will be part of our Department of Language and Communication, a core element in the faculty’s new Graduate School of Humanities. Being part of the Graduate School environment means you will also have close links with students in related Master’s programmes such as Translation, Linguistics, Journalism, and Communication and Information Studies.
