Bachelor of Social Sciences (BSocSc) in Linguistics

Program Available at Hamilton Campus

A language is a tool we all use instinctively, without necessarily understanding its precise structure. By studying Linguistics, you'll gain inner working knowledge of language design and organization. You'll learn about different sounds, words and clause structures, and how they work in world languages. You'll explore different cultures and societies to see how linguistic behavior changes by location, as well as in various situations.

Your Linguistics studies will also give you a commanding understanding of the English language which can lead to careers in journalism, free-lance writing or academia.
