Linguistics is the science-based study of human language. Its students seek to understand the context, structure, and meaning of languages by comparing existing human languages and studying their similarities and differences. Areas of study include phonology, semantics, and syntax.

After completing a bachelor’s degree, students have the option to earn a postgraduate diploma, which helps provide more in-depth knowledge in a particular concentration. Many students choose to complete this educational program in order to improve their job prospects or to specialize their workplace skill sets.
