    Subject: European Master's in Clinical Linguistics


    The European Masters in Clinical Linguistics (EMCL) is a university programme at advanced level (Master's type) in Clinical Linguistics, providing an integrated training in both neurolinguistic theory and clinical methods. Speech and language therapists who follow this programme, will acquire additional knowledge about the theoretical background of the language disorders and the relation between language and the brain. Students with a background in linguistics or psychology will become acquainted with the clinical situation, so that they will be able to develop better assessment and treatment materials. It is envisaged that a certain cross-fertilisation will take place as well, as a result of which speech and language therapists will contribute to the development of material or tests, while students with a more theoretical background get involved in clinical activities.

    The programme comprises three terms and reflects the European character of the EMCL. In the first term, the student will study at his/her 'home university', i.e. the university where s/he is registered for the EMCL. This term is similar at the participating institutions and will consist of a number of core courses. During the second term, the student should go to one of the other universities, sponsored by the European Union under Socrates, to do specialised courses; the final term will be used for research classes and is done at the home university again. Finally, the student will write an MA- thesis and attend a summerschool to finish the programme.

    The Board-of-Studies consists of the members of the participating institutions, i.e. the universities of Groningen (NL), Joensuu (FI), Newcastle (UK), Oslo (NO), Potsdam (GE), Reading (UK) and Milan (IT). In 2001 - 2002 the programme will be ran at the universities of Groningen (NL), Newcastle (UK), Reading (UK) and Potsdam (GE). All courses will be taught in English. The deadline for sending in an application form is the 1st of March 2001.
