MA/MS in Language and Communication

The Graduate School of Language Communication offers four fields of study: English linguistics, literature of English-speaking regions, English language education and intercultural communication. In the communication area, full-time native-speaker teachers instruct so that students learn English through English. The literature area ranges from major authors to musical scripts, and the linguistics area from modern linguistic theory to usage and the history of English. Classes are small, with roughly one to three students, so a student can plan research individually and write a master's thesis or portfolio with the supervisor over an extended period. Working adults can use a long-term scheme of three or four years on two years of tuition, take evening, weekend or holiday classes, and apply through a special selection based on a research plan and interview. Credits gained earlier as a non-degree student can be recognised within a 15-credit limit. An advanced junior high school English teaching licence is among the licences listed.
