Deaf studies
Students will study a wide range of issues relating to this unique linguistic minority group, their history, education, culture, community and language. On all programmes students will study British Sign Language (BSL). In addition, students will develop skills and expertise which will serve and benefit both Deaf and hearing communities. Although Deaf Studies focuses primarily on the situation in the United Kingdom, many of the issues to be explored are of international importance to Deaf people; e.g. bilingualism, education policy, legislation, Deaf politics, professionalism and the empowerment of Deaf people. The subject is supported by the contribution of other disciplines such as history, linguistics, anthropology, psychology, and sociology making it multi-disciplinary in nature. The Trust for Deaf Studies was set up in 1984 to develop projects in the area of Deaf Studies. Its main principles are: communication and understanding - the attempt to enhance and improve the quality of deaf people's lives and their contribution to society.
