This programme is open for students who have obtained a bachelor’s degree in Linguistics, in Linguistics and Literature, in Translation, Interpreting or Multilingual Communication. Our master’s courses are specialized courses on topics of linguistics, so we do expect incoming students to have an understanding of:
- the structures and use of the chosen language;
- and the main fields of theoretical linguistics (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, discourse analysis).

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.
