The African studies degree focuses on the languages and cultures of sub Saharan Africa; it includes the study of an African language and a wide choice of course units in the related cultural fields of literature, art, performance and religion-philosophy; the languages normally available are Amharic, Hausa, Somali, Swahili, Yoruba and Zulu; the linguistics degree is designed to develop a comprehensive understanding of the way that languages are universally structured and trains students to master all the basic skills necessary for the analysis of different sound systems and semantics (the study of meaning in language); in addition, students may also take units dealing with language and social communication (focusing on the interaction of language and social groups), morphology (the structure of words), historical linguistics (the historical development of languages), phonetics and the structure of an African or Asian language.
