Propedeutics
In the first month, propedeutic courses are held in Potsdam to overcome differences in academic knowledge at a very early stage of the program. Introductions are offered into Clinical Linguistics, Theoretical Linguistics and Methodology/Statistics.
Teaching terms
Term one can be spent in either Groningen or Joensuu. Groningen has a focus on Clinical Aphasiology, Developmental Language Disorders and Developmental Dyslexia. Joensuu offers classes on Experimental Linguistics, Psycho-/Neurolinguistics and Language Development in Autism. All students are together in Potsdam in the second term. Classes will be on Neurological rehabilitation, Methods/Statistics, Language Development, Language Processing, Language Assessment and Topics in Neurolinguistics. Another focus is on Scientific Writing. Mobility in the third term takes the students to Groningen or Joensuu. Classes will be similar to the first term but on an advanced level. A new focus is on Brain imaging and Language.
Thesis
The fourth term is spent on thesis work at the institution of the first supervisor.
The mobility scheme requires that students attend at least at two of the three participating institutions of the consortium.
