UiT The Arctic University of Norway,

Theoretical Linguistics - master

The Master in Theoretical Linguistics is the flagship research programme built around the internationally active research group in formal linguistics at UiT. The programme provides a grounding in formal aspects of grammar, in particular syntax and phonology, to prepare students for their own research in language description and analysis. This course of study emphasizes the ways in which languages are formally similar, but also different in highly intricate and specific ways. The programme is especially suited to students interested in working on understudied languages, or engaged in comparative and micro-comparative research.

Entry requirements

Admission to the Master's programme in Theoretical Linguistics requires a Bachelor's Degree (180 ECTS), or equivalent qualification, in a language or linguistics, or a degree combining linguistics and literature (minimum 80 ECTS in linguistics/language/literature, of which minimum 60 ECTS must be in linguistics and/or language).

Applicants need an average minimum grade of C or better from the bachelor's degree to be admitted to the master's program.

A special interest in the formal and descriptive properties of natural language is a precondition.
