Message from Head
Welcome to the Department of Linguistics and Modern Language Studies (LML). We are committed to nurturing graduates who will become competent professionals in a wide range of careers in language-related employment and other areas. We aim to promote academic and professional knowledge and apply it to real life situations through community-engaged learning and research.
The Department was established in 2012 and is one of the four departments of the Faculty of Humanities. Over the years, we have been developing in response to the changing needs of our society. Apart from offering students access to a wide range of linguistic studies, we also offer translation courses and a spectrum of modern language courses to enhance students’ intercultural competence in times of globalization.
