The Master of Arts programme in Language and Linguistics is intended for students with either a Swedish or international bachelor s degree who are interested in language and linguistics. The objectives of the programme are to increase the student s knowledge and understanding of language in its broad sense and theoretical understanding of linguistic issues. The student can choose from a number of specialisations, such as General Linguistics, English, Phonetics, Greek/Modern Greek, Japanese, Latin and German.


Contents

The Master of Arts in Language and Linguistics offers 13 specialisations. The many specialisations help to provide a broad selection of advanced courses in languages and in linguistics. As the programme offers many optional elements, students can choose freely between courses and design a programme to suit their interests.

There are several different types of courses:

Compulsory courses for all specialisations include the introductory course The Philosophy of Science for Linguists and the concluding Master's thesis. This applies to both the Master of Arts (two years) and the Master of Arts (one year).

There are also compulsory courses specific to each specialisation – for the Master of Arts (two years) constituting between 30 and 37.5 credits. Compulsory courses are offered at least once during the programme. Some specialisations instead offer several alternative compulsory courses from which the students can choose.

Elective courses (15–22.5 credits) are second-cycle courses common to all specialisations. Students choose elective courses in consultation with the programme coordinator.

Optional courses (30 credits) can be chosen freely from courses offered across the University. The student chooses optional courses in consultation with the programme coordinator. Optional courses can be chosen from among the elective courses.

If you choose to take the Master of Arts (one year) instead of the Master of Arts (two years), you have the same selection of courses, however the distribution of credits are different. You’ll find more information under each specialisation.
