Master's Programme in Linguistics

Linguistics is the science of human language and language use. Linguists attempt to find how language can be characterized as a cognitive human skill, a system for communication, and an important cultural and social phenomenon. The study of language comprises methods to analyze and model language, based on linguistic theories which attempt to formally describe language structures in ways that account for similarities and differences between human languages.

The master's program in Linguistics consists of an in-depth study of selected linguistic topics such as modern linguistic theory, psycholinguistics and artificial intelligence. It also includes an introduction to inductive, qualitative and computer-based research methods in linguistics, thus preparing students for carrying out independent linguistic research projects.
