Learning a language at birth comes naturally but scientifically understanding the structure of that language and why it is similar to or different from another is learnt consciously. UG’s Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics gives insight into one of the most intriguing aspects of human knowledge. It provides a scientific perspective of languages and how one language differs from another and from one society to another. Whilst the programme will not necessarily turn a student into a polyglot (it could if you are a genius), it provides the prospective student with an exciting cross language perspective. It studies scientifically the structure of languages, intonations, and how words make meaning. The programme will provide students with great intellectual skills, analytic reasoning and argumentation. The career opportunities are immense and cut across other professions as well. Education, consulting, translation and interpretation are just a gist of the career opportunities available to a Linguistics Professional.
