No need to get disrupted or desperately search for a computer in the library as, the Department of English Language and Communication has a study area known as The Language Centre. The Language Centre consists of a small seating area with tables, where small groups can sit to study or even have a chat, and a computer room that is available for students in the department, that come equipped with all the programmes you may require (for example Microsoft Word, PowerPoint etc; and most recently, a phonetics keyboard has been installed). The staff encourage all students to use this centre regularly.
The department have a partnership with the world-leading research facility CRELLA (The Centre for Research in English Language Learning and Assessment). This means that the department are always up to date with new and recent research.
The class sizes in this department are small (range between 20-30 students). This allows for all students and lecturers to get to know one another. This is a benefit as the lecturers are able to view your strengths and weaknesses and then help you accordingly.
The teaching quality is outstanding and has regularly been scored top marks by students completing the National Student Survey in their final year of study. As well as in the lectures, they work closely with you outside the classroom and regularly check up on you to make sure you are not having any troubles. It is considered to be a very caring environment; especially during a time when you have to face your new found independence.
