The programme is primarily designed for those interested in the scientific investigation of language and has the following main objectives: - To offer students a solid foundation and deepen their knowledge in the main areas of English grammar and the structure of language.
- To acquaint students with different areas in the field (such as syntax, semantics, phonology, applied linguistics, etc.).
- To provide guidelines for students conducting research in the field of Linguistics, and consequently encourage them to further their studies.
The programme is divided into two components: The taught component covers the main areas of Linguistics and familiarises students with research methodology; the thesis component gives students the opportunity to undertake research in a specialised area of interest. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
