European Master of Science in Clinical Linguistics
The European Master in Clinical Linguistics (EMCL) is a research Master’s programme that offers students specialist training in clinical linguistics, neurolinguistics and psycholinguistics. We fund highly talented and motivated students to carry out original research and prepare them to be widely employable in academia (PhD) and/or the industry (e.g. neurotechnology, clinical sector).
Open Days
Each spring there is a Graduation Fair. It consists of a job fair (with more than 200 different companies) and a postgrad/master fair.
For some programmes, there is a specific Open Day. If this is the case, you will find the date here (at the latest Feb 15th).

Holders of one of the above-mentioned degrees who wish to follow the programme must apply to the coordinating institution, the University of Groningen, before 15 December prior to the academic year in which the student wishes to commence the study. After this date, it is no longer possible to apply for enrolment, unless the Selection Board announces a second deadline of 15 February on the website in January, which is only the case if there are insufficient students after the first selection round. Before 15 April (this is after the registration of the selected scholarship students with EACEA) the students receive an admission letter from the University of Groningen, and they are also informed whether or not they have been selected as Erasmus Mundus scholarship students.

Flexible trajectories
Flexible trajectories refers to alternative ways of following our courses. It might mean that a course can be spread in time as to allow the combination of work and studying, or that students with special needs get the support they need to allow a successful study career.
An international experience
Going abroad with Erasmus is wide-spread and well-known. But getting an international experience is possible in many different ways.
