Program details

Overview

This Master's degree in Linguistics offers a wide base together with freedom to shape an individual study path. Students assemble their programme from seven available profiles and study at a campus university. The curriculum is modular and has three phases. Everyone completes the foundation modules first. Next, students select a profile for in-depth work, add a module from a different profile, and fill the remaining space with free-choice courses from anywhere in the university, including one full module. Most students enter in the winter semester, so the curriculum is designed around an October start, though entry in the summer semester can also be arranged.
