From 2025, the Language Sciences major replaces the Linguistics and TESOL majors in the Graduate Diploma in Arts.
It’s hard to imagine human life without language. We use language for almost everything we do—from making friends and sharing stories to asking a smartphone for directions.
In Language Sciences, you’ll take a systematic and scientific approach to analysing all aspects of language. You’ll learn to analyse the structure and meaning of different languages and the social contexts in which they occur.
As you develop a solid grounding in linguistics, you’ll learn how language intersects with other fields—psychology, AI, anthropology, cognitive science, language teaching, and more.
Language Sciences is a natural choice if you’re interested in learning or teaching languages. It’s also a great subject to study if you like science, maths, and puzzle-solving.
