MA/MS in Linguistics and Communication Sciences

This Research Master's programme brings together a multidisciplinary view of language and communication, drawing on both linguistic and communication research with particular attention to cognitive and societal processes. It calls for sophisticated research methods, among them advanced experimental techniques, brain research, machine learning, and the analysis of big data, with empirical data from real-life communication and detailed experiments forming the basis for testing existing theories and developing new ones. The programme is intended to prepare students for a research career, particularly PhD positions, though other career paths within linguistics and communication sciences remain open.
