Diploma in Arts in Linguistics

University of Canterbury

If you are wanting to study Arts subjects at university, the one-year Diploma in Arts (DipArts) is a great option without having to complete a full three-year bachelor's degree. It also allows you to take Arts courses of interest to add onto your studies in other areas. Study Involve: Choose from a wide range of Arts subjects and courses at any level. Complete a compulsory course on foundational arts skills of academic writing, analysing evidence, or bicultural identity. This Diploma can be studied full-time in 1 year, or part-time for up to 6 years. Can be used as a pathway to the Bachelor of Arts with the ability to transfer your completed courses to that degree. 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.
