Academic titleDiploma in Arts (English Language)
Course descriptionThe English language program enables students to specialise in the English language by studying it from a number of perspectives: communicative, grammatical, semantic, historical, developmental and pedagogical. To speak and write the world's most widely used language effectively, we need to understand its history, its supple and intricate grammar, and the status of its many social and geographical varieties.
English language is a Faculty of Arts interdisciplinary program which is housed in the School of Languages and Linguistics. It draws from subjects in the linguistics and applied linguistics and the English literary studies program.
The English language program may be undertaken as a major independently of other areas of study. It is also a useful complement to studies in English, linguistics and applied linguistics, a language, Australian studies, American studies, or women's studies.
