Specialise in Linguistics for your Graduate Diploma in Arts at Massey
The Graduate Diploma in Arts (Linguistics) is a bridging tool for graduates in other subjects to get the equivalent of a major in linguistics.
Cultivate your personal and professional development
Linguistics is the study of language, its structure and meaning, how it is learnt and used, and what this says about who we are and where we come from.
Language plays a fundamental role in both our public and private lives, from interacting with friends to communicating with colleagues. This includes written and spoken communication, problem-solving, and social and cultural awareness. Our lecturers will encourage you to develop a deeper understanding of your own self-identity and social interactions.
Develop important career skills
Language is the most powerful tool for connecting with and understanding the evolving diversity of people and cultures in New Zealand. Massey’s Graduate Diploma in Arts (Linguistics) puts a strong focus on personal and applied language use. As well as ethnographic analysis, and language forms and structure.
This major will help you develop vital career skills.
