Course description
The integrative Master's degree in Linguistics is designed for those who have completed a Bachelor's degree in Linguistics and are eager to dive into research. This program not only introduces students to the latest research but also equips them for independent scientific work. Students will deepen their general knowledge while gaining specialized skills in a specific area of linguistics. They will also learn about individual languages and acquire additional methodological skills. A key component of the program is the team project, where students hold tutorials, honing their university teaching techniques and teamwork abilities. The Master's program is structured into seven modules. Six of these modules group together courses that are thematically, methodologically, or systematically related. The team project forms the seventh module. This structure ensures that students receive a comprehensive education, preparing them for both academic and professional success in the field of linguistics.
