Linguistics is the principal study of the sound, grammar and meaning of different languages spoken by different people and cultures. Topics range from the analysis of advertising and marketing to the political rhetoric of world leaders, and students will learn the most effective ways of looking at and dissecting language.
During the first year of study, students will be introduced to modules on phonetics and phonology, syntax, and sociolinguistics before moving on to more complex subjects in the second and third years, such as language acquisition and the difficulty of learning language with age.
Linguistic graduates will find career opportunities in language therapy, translation, teaching English as a first or foreign language, interpretation, and journalism.
Entry requirements vary for each New Zealand university, but students will need an IELTS score of 6.5 overall, no lower than 6.0 in each component, and an International Baccalaureate score of 30 points.
