Course overview
The Graduate Diploma of Linguistic Studies at CDU is a postgraduate degree that prepares you for analysis, evaluation, and application of linguistic understandings to language, its use, and its role in various contexts. You will build theoretical foundations in linguistics for developing knowledge and awareness in the field that targets developments in practice and research. The focus of the program is on contextualized evaluation of language, which can be applied to theoretical analysis or contribute to the continuing professional development of forensic linguists, language teachers, TESOL practitioners, education policy makers, and those working in language revitalization and maintenance. You will explore content incorporating aspects that can be applied to local, regional and global contexts, and offer directed engagement with First Nations, Australian, Asian and global content and perspectives. Study opportunities exist on campus or online, in full-time or part-time study modes. The course is structured around four key areas within the field of linguistics: TESOL, forensic linguistics, language revitalization and maintenance, and general linguistics.
