Apart from the unit Introduction to the Study of Language, most of the teaching units are organised around distinct aspects of languages, or, equivalently, distinct sub-fields of the discipline of linguistics.
All units are one semester in length.
Individual Linguistics units may be included in any degree except the Bachelor of Laws. It combines units from Linguistics with units about language that are offered in other sections of the university. It is an ideal complement to a major in a foreign language. It is designed to give students a grounding in the learning and teaching of languages, as well as some knowledge about the structure of language. Honours in Linguistics is available to students in the Arts Faculty.
