文學士（語言學及語言應用）
Language is a defining aspect of humanity, shaping how we communicate, think, and connect. The Major in Linguistics and Language Applications (BALLA) programme explores the science of language, from constructing sentences and words to understanding how our brains process language, how languages change over time, and how they reflect social and cultural identities. You will also examine how adults, children, and even computers learn languages.
Studying linguistics offers practical applications with societal impact. Linguists contribute to language education policies, address language-related social issues, develop AI-driven language technologies, and support those with speech or communication challenges. Along the way, you will improve your communication and writing skills, making language learning more efficient and everyday interactions more effective.
The BALLA programme also prepares you for diverse career paths through internships that provide real-world experience and industry connections. Our graduates work as editors, language teachers, speech therapists, translators, technical writers, and professionals in fields such as marketing, media, public relations, and language technology.
