Correspondingly, the Master course is designed to substantially extend the students’ knowledge base that they have acquired at the bachelor level. The overall aim is to give students a grounding in research methods and prepare them for independent and collaborative research in the field of linguistics.The students target three areas among the fields of syntax, semantics, phonology and neuro/psycholinguistics, language variation and change and constraint based grammar for specialization.The Master program in Linguistics aims at qualifying students to give theoretically sound and empirically substantiated statements on various aspects of language and to apply their new knowledge and insights while carrying out an own piece of research.To this end, the students extend their theoretical knowledge base and refine the techniques of language description and linguistic explanation. Particularly, students discuss current issues in linguistics as related to their chosen specialisations aiming at planning and carrying out independent research. Students who have completed the Master course in Linguistics hold the qualification for an academic career and may start a PhD program in Linguistics or in a related discipline. Linguists may carry out research in many fields of the humanities, social and cognitive sciences.
