What it isApplied Linguistics is the study of how language works in real situations — like teaching English to non-native speakers, helping people with speech disorders, or understanding how people communicate. Unlike a general linguistics program, applied linguistics focuses on solving practical language problems rather than just studying language theory. It suits people interested in education, healthcare, or communication who want hands-on skills alongside linguistic knowledge.An Honours BA lets you specialize in one or more subjects from the humanities, sciences, and social sciences while building a broad education across different fields. You choose your major — such as English, Anthropology, Computer Science, or Creative Writing — and take courses in that area alongside electives that let you explore other disciplines. This program suits people who want depth in a subject they care about but also value exposure to different ways of thinking and fields of knowledge.
