Summary

The Postgraduate Diploma in Linguistics explores the fundamental roles language plays across diverse personal and professional settings. You’ll start by examining the core components underpinning linguistic study, engaging with various theoretical approaches to language and exploring how its building blocks are employed to construct meaning. You’ll also gain experience in applying different methodologies for language analysis before choosing one of two specialist routes. In the Applied Linguistics route, you’ll explore the English language and linguistics in relation to a variety of professional contexts or focus on the intricate relationship between language usage and rapidly evolving global technologies with the Artificial Intelligence route. On completion, you can use your diploma as a pathway to the MA in Linguistics.

Key features of this course - Choose between specialising in applied linguistics or the use of artificial intelligence in linguistics.

  • Improve your professional practice by engaging with contemporary issues, concepts and debates that enrich your knowledge.
