CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
Language and Communication graduates can be found in a variety of occupations which require a good grounding in these areas, in conjunction with some applied and vocational specialism such as speech writer, journalist, community affairs liaison, lobbyist, recruiter, personnel director and public relations specialist, counselling, all aspects of writing(commercial, technical, journalistic, and so on), work in cross-cultural and multilingual settings, literacy or language education, publishing houses and research in social and applied aspects of language to mention a few.
In addition to the above, there are many careers which require a more specifically linguistic training; Career possibilities associated with Linguistics are language teaching, translation, speech and language therapy, computing applications, research in descriptive or applied linguistics.
Our whole life revolves around how we use language. This, therefore, necessitates the study of language. This equips the students with knowledge of how languages work, develop and how they are similar to one another with respect to sounds, words, meanings and structure. They also discover how language affects our thoughts, our interactions and our cultural identity. Language is a means for communication which therefore makes it necessary to study the two aspects conjointly. A qualification on this will therefore leave the candidate in a better position to research, use and apply language in whatever situation that may require such expertise.
