Description:

Erasmus Mundus EMCL (European Masters in Clinical Linguistics) programme: invitation for student applications.

The Erasmus Mundus EMCL ('European Masters in Clinical Linguistics') course is a 15 month full-time interdisciplinary and transnational university programme at Masters level providing integrated training in theoretical and experimental neurosciences and psycholinguistics with clinical issues. The aim of the Masters Course is to train highly qualified advanced students who are excellently prepared for research work and PhD-programmes in the above fields.

The transnational consortium comprises four universities: Groningen (NL), Joensuu (FI), Milano-Bicocca (IT) and Potsdam (DE). The programme consists of three terms: the core courses offered in the first term aim at providing the students with general knowledge about the fields mentioned above. During the second and third term, the students attend specialised courses. For the second term, students may choose to move from their first host university to another one, while all students meet at the University of Potsdam during the third term. To finish the programme successfully, the student writes a Masters thesis and attends a summer school or conference. All courses are taught in English.

The programme recruits students worldwide. In order to encourage application by students from non-European countries and thus give the EMCL-programme a strong extra-European profile, non-European students admitted to the programme will receive an Erasmus Mundus scholarship covering tuition fees, living and travelling costs.

European students pay a reduced tuition fee and - pending acknowledgement by the European Union - may receive a scholarship for spending part of the programme at a non-European partner institution. The requirement for admission is at least three years of higher education (BA, BSc or equivalent) with an emphasis on speech and language pathology, linguistics, biomedical sciences, psychology or special education.

We invite high profile students from all over the world to submit their applications for participation in the 2007/08 course (which starts in September 2007) until January 1, 2007 (application deadline). Admission and mobility plan for each student are decided on at the annual meeting of the Board of Studies at the end of January. Students will be informed in early summer if their application was successful.
