Undergraduate
The Linguistics Department caters for undergraduate students enrolled in a range of flexible undergraduate degrees, whether through a generic degree 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 , our more specifically vocationally targeted degree.
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 also offers two undergraduate units in professional and academic communication: English for Academic Purposes 100 (CAPP 100) and English for Academin Purposes (CAPP101).
These units are designed to help students from non English speaking backgrounds to perform to a high standard in their other subjects.
These unts will be renamed in 2006: Communication for Academic and Professional Purposes 100 (CAPP100) and Communication for Academic and Professional Purposes 101 (CAPP101).
