Certificate in Arts in Linguistics

University of Canterbury

The Certificate in Arts (CertArts) is designed for you to study at university level without having to commit to several years of study. It is also an option if you want to take a few courses for interest, or study part-time. Study Involve: Study from a range of subjects which offer field trips, real-world case studies, projects, and more. Complete four standard courses of your choice at 100 and/or 200-level in no more than two subjects. This Certificate can be studied full-time in 6 months or part-time for up to 5 years. Can be used as a pathway to the Diploma in Arts or the Bachelor of Arts with the ability to transfer your credits to those degrees. Linguistics is the analysis of languages - from structure, how and why they change, to the way we learn and our unique way of speaking. By understanding how language is a part of everything we do, you can better understand how communication shapes our identity, relationships, and way of life. Study Involve: Opportunity to learn from research conducted here at UC. UC offers many language studies to complement Linguistics, such as Te Reo Maori, Chinese, Russian, and Japanese. Study a minor in Linguistics within a range of bachelor’s degrees so you can add communication skills and knowledge to other subjects.
