Date: 05-Apr-2012 From: Alice Blumenthal <alice.blumenthalanglistik.uni-freiburg.de> Subject: International MA in European Linguistics E-mail this message to a friend We are glad to announce that the international Master’s programme in European Linguistics (MEL) at the University of Freiburg now starts twice a year (in April and October). Applications can be submitted until January 15 and June 15, respectively. This well-established two-year Master's programme (course director: Professor Bernd Kortmann) is designed for students interested in an in- depth study of theoretical and descriptive linguistics. It creates a solid basis for linguistic analysis and comparison, conveys a sound understanding of the rich and fascinating linguistic landscape of Europe, and imparts skills in up to four European languages. A wide variety of seminars and lectures are offered in the following five modules: - The European Languages: Structures, Typology and Language Contact - Varieties and Minority Languages in Europe - Schools and Traditions of Linguistic Thought in Europe - Multilingual and Multicultural Communication in Europe - The Linguistic History of Europe An additional research module includes an internship abroad, a conference visit, and classes on research design and presentation skills. The degree is designed to qualify students both for work in language- related professions outside the university and for a further career in academia, typically in the form of a PhD.
