Language is part our everyday lives, yet how much do we actually understand about how it works? 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.

You’ll identify core similarities in language and communication, two activities that define us as humans. This qualification will appeal to you if you enjoy learning languages or have a curiosity about language.
