Structure

In the first semester students choose five courses (of 6 credits each): two from the set of general courses and three specialisation courses (with at least two from one specific area of specialisation, which will also be the area of the master’s dissertation and of the intensive course work and/or apprenticeship in the second semester).

- Linguistics in a Comparative Perspective
- Natural Language Processing: Theory and Practice

In the second semester students mainly focus on their master’s dissertation (18 credits) which should be in their area of specialisation. They are also expected to take part in intensive course work and/or an apprenticeship in their area of specialisation (12 credits).

Master’s dissertation
The master’s dissertation is a requirement for every candidate to obtain a master‘s degree. The master’s dissertation is an original piece of research work. It aims to develop and strengthen the research capacity skills of the students. The student selects a topic and is given guidance by a supervisor. The master’s dissertation consists of a critical bibliography review part, a theoretical reflection and an original analysis of the topic.
