Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Communications and Linguistics

The Communications and Linguistics degree will address these issues explicitly by developing students their knowledge and understanding of the way in which linguistic processes and practices shape and continue to shape the fundamental contours of culture and society. They will study the syntactic, semantic and pragmatic dimensions of language, explore the globality of spoken and written English, as well as develop an understanding of the psychological, sociological, and political dimensions of contemporary communications processes and practices. With these in focus, the course will offer an interdisciplinary approach to language and communication in order to analyse and explain the complex interrelations between social, political, institutional and technological dimensions of language in its multivariate forms, with a specific emphasis upon the way that an understanding of these is key to unlocking the employability potential of undergraduates in the Humanities for future, high skilled, professional roles.
