Linguistics is the systematic study of the nature and the use of language. This involves examining the structure of languages, the uses of language, the ways in which languages differ and those properties which they have in common. Theories about language and its uses in society are studied and evaluated and various applications of linguistics and linguistic knowledge are discussed. Linguistics accepts suitably qualified candidates for the degrees of PhD, of MA in linguistics and of MA in applied linguistics. Linguistics also offers a Graduate Diploma of Arts (Applied Linguistics).
