As a methodological focus, students can choose between experimental methods of psycholinguistics / neurolinguistics and field research.The master’s degree program Linguistics: Empirical and Theoretical Foundations (language of instruction: English) is an interdisciplinary course of studies. It deepens the subject-specific knowledge, methods, and skills acquired in the field of empirical and theoretical linguistics during bachelor’s studies. The degree program combines the formal implementation of findings in modern grammar models for all core areas (phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics) with experimental investigation methods and field research. The program provides comprehensive, detailed, and specialized knowledge in formal and experimental linguistics. Students will be taught to recognize and analyze current research trends, to critically reflect on them, and to develop their own research questions as well as the methods to answer them.The master’s program Linguistics: Empirical and Theoretical Foundations aims to provide its graduates with a thorough command of the methods of linguistics and with the specialized knowledge that will enable them to make their own scientific contribution in the research focus of their choice, which also qualifies them to continue their academic studies (doctorate).The program is research-oriented and imparts personal and decision-making skills in the context of project work and research-related internships, which open up career opportunities for the graduates as executives in research, innovation, and development. Graduates will acquire technical and conceptual skills to solve strategic problems, are able to weigh alternatives (even with incomplete information), develop new processes, and apply appropriate assessment standards. English as a teaching language enables them to work scientifically and professionally in an English-speaking environment.Their outstanding expertise of the language system as well as basic statistical and programming skills qualify them for the primary fields of work science, research, and innovation, but also for starting a career outside of academia with a focus on language (such as documentation, specialist journalism, editorial work, advising on development of user-oriented tools, e.g. for communication).
