This course investigates communication in the world of business. It is ideal for communication researchers, company managers, marketeers, and anyone interested in the relationship between language and professional life.
Combining the expertise of the School of English and the Nottingham University Business School , we introduce the multidisciplinary aspects of professional communication. For example, you will explore how linguistic analysis can improve business communication. This could be analysing the content of adverts, business meetings or mission statements, examining how these texts either succeed or fail to convey their intended meanings. We will also look at how the visual elements of texts (i.e. photographs, diagrams) can influence how we interpret messages.
Pre-arrival reading lists will be sent out with registration information before you join your course, where available.
The course is made up of 180 credits. You will take 120 credits of modules (from the Business School and the School of English), then complete a 60-credit dissertation.
All classes take place during weekdays.
All candidates are considered on an individual basis and we accept a broad range of qualifications. The entrance requirements below apply to 2027 entry.
