What is your future in linguistics? As an
undergraduate student in the Interfaculty Program
in Linguistics you have the opportunity to
centre your studies in a field that "broadly
speaking, is the scientific study of all aspects
of human language. It is an exciting, growing
field, with significant connections to other

computer science and anthropology." "Linguistics
can be viewed as the most scientific of the
humanities and the most humanistic of the
sciences."
