Overview

The Graduate Certificate in Applied Linguistics is an introductory step into the field of applied linguistics. Linguistics is the study of language and Applied Linguistics is the study of language use in human affairs as we understand it in all facets of human life. Language is one of the most complex human phenomena, yet we mostly take it for granted as something we are aware of, but that operates below our level of consciousness. Linguistics brings the study of language itself to the conscious level, and applied linguistics attempts to bring this study to all domains of human life where language is considered as important. In this way we examine the role of language in human communication; the way people use language to interact with one another and their environment, the relationship between language and culture and the place of language in the life of an individual community and society.
The Graduate Certificate in Applied Linguistics is an AQF Level 8 qualification with a standard full-time duration of 0.5 years.
