Cultivate your personal and professional development
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.

Language plays a fundamental role in both our public and private lives, from interacting with friends to communicating with colleagues. This includes written and spoken communication, problem-solving, and social and cultural awareness. Our lecturers will encourage you to develop a deeper understanding of your own self-identity and social interactions.

Develop important career skills
Language is the most powerful tool for connecting with and understanding the evolving diversity of people and cultures in New Zealand. Massey’s Graduate Diploma in Arts (Linguistics) puts a strong focus on personal and applied language use. As well as ethnographic analysis, and language forms and structure.

This major will help you develop vital career skills.

Specialist language studies and options available
We have a variety of courses on offer, whatever your interest. Whether you’re intrigued by the role of language in forensic situations or digital communities. Whether it’s social media, mother-tongue maintenance or second-language learning. Our courses are taught by leading lecturers in a range of distinctive research areas.
