Program focus

The Postgraduate Certificate in Applied Linguistics (PGAL) is designed to introduce students from a range of backgrounds to the area of Applied Linguistics, as they engage with second language speakers and their communities. Students will develop an understanding of language use and second language learners in diverse and international contexts. Students will gain an enhanced understanding of how language is used in communities and the significance of identity through social and linguistic skills and behaviour. Graduates will have gained specialised knowledge, expertise and leadership in the area of applied linguistics across global cultures and communities.

Career opportunities

Applied linguistics is a useful complement for a range of professions. These include speech therapy and pathology, allied health, psychology and training in a variety of industrial jobs that require skills in communication management and cross-cultural interaction. New employment opportunities abroad are available in companies that employ graduates with problem-solving and analytical skills in international relations with second language users in the workplace.

There is demand also among administrators and teachers in classrooms, in indigenous communities and international schools, and other government and community organisations for skills to meet diverse cultural and language learning needs.
