Program details

Overview

This third-cycle degree develops early-career researchers in linguistics, set within modern cognitive science. In January 2017 the university's Senate lengthened it from three to four years, and the longer format started in 2017/2018. Candidates who had already enrolled in the shorter version complete that route. Its scientific premise is that the faculty for language is part of human biology and operates as a computational system. Training therefore combines the analytical toolkit of formal theoretical linguistics with experimental disciplines, particularly psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics, that probe how language is represented in mind and brain. The page also sets out admission conditions and refers to a Slovenian language course and a list of supervisors. The award is the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.).

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Applicants must have completed one of: a second-cycle master's programme; an academic undergraduate programme of at least four years worth 240 ECTS; a uniform five-year master's programme worth 300 ECTS; or a specialisation after a professional programme, with additional obligations of 30 to 60 ECTS.
