This degree deals with applications of linguistics to professional and social contexts in which language plays a crucial role. Current offerings are particularly suited to teachers of English as a mother tongue, English as a second or foreign language and languages other than English, generalist primary school teachers, and those concerned with multicultural and language policies. Other applications of linguistics (for example in the media, business and industry) are also dealt with. The course is normally undertaken in one year of full-time or two years of part-time study.
Applicants should hold an appropriate honours degree (normally in linguistics) with a grade of H2B or above, or the equivalent. Applicants who have completed the equivalent of the masters qualifying program or postgraduate diploma program with a credit average may also be admitted.

In exceptional circumstances, students may be permitted to take a maximum of two units relating closely to linguistics offered by another section or faculty.
