BA English and Linguistics

3 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

University of Otago

Program Overview

It is possible to complete a specialised major in English and Linguistics for a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree. English at Otago is designed to fulfil three main aims: opening up the vast and delightful range of literatures written in English; providing a grasp of the concepts and techniques for analysing texts; and improving communication skills of every kind. Language is central, and perhaps unique, to human experience. Interest in its study has existed throughout history. Consequently, questions about language, and particularly the nature of its structure, use and development, have engaged scholars from a wide range of disciplines. Linguistics is the discipline that addressses these and other related questions directly.
