An Applied Linguist studies and applies language principles to solve real-world problems. You might work in academic settings, research institutions, or with government and private organisations. Applied Linguists focus on areas such as language acquisition, translation, language policy, and linguistic analysis. You’ll conduct research, develop language-related solutions, and provide expertise on language use and communication.

Applied Linguists play a vital role in improving communication and understanding. You’ll need strong analytical skills, a deep knowledge of linguistic theories, and the ability to apply them practically. You’ll collaborate with other professionals to address language challenges and contribute to the development of effective language practices and policies.
