KNUST Bachelor BA Linguistics Programme

KNUST Bachelor BA Linguistics Programme – This programme is offered at KNUST College of Humanities and social science .

What is Bachelor BA Linguistics ?

The major in Linguistics enables students to explore, at many levels and from a variety of perspectives, how language works. Students of linguistics examine the structure, use, acquisition, and development of the languages of the world. We aim to identify both those elements that are common to all human languages (spoken and signed) and the ways in which languages and dialects can differ from one another.
