The Australian Linguistics Institute provides a series of short, intensive courses presented by world experts in their fields. It is a unique opportunity for professional linguists, language professionals, graduate students and advanced undergraduates to upgrade their knowledge and skills in key areas of linguistics.
Courses offered through the Australian Linguistics Institute have proved to be very important fora for professional and academic development, as well as for inspiring students to consider research degrees.
