Department of Linguistics
Undergraduate
The Linguistics Department caters for undergraduate students enrolled in a range of undergraduate degrees. We offer generic degrees such as the Bachelor of Arts (BA) , Bachelor of Science (BSc) or Bachelor of Social Science (BSocSc) , or through the Bachelor of Speech and Hearing Sciences, and a more vocationally targeted degree, the Bachelor of Speech and Hearing Sciences.
Whatever their degree of choice, our aim is to provide our graduates with:
-
detailed discipline specific knowledge in two key areas: the systematic and analytical study of language itself, and secondly, the study of how humans make use of language in a wide range of contexts.
- generic skills relating to written and oral communication, analytical thinking and problem solving.
The combination of these discipline specific and generic skills helps prepare our graduates for employment, either in Australia or overseas, in a wide range of careers.
The Linguistics Department will offers 3 disciplines specific academic literacy support units.
