This Utrecht University Prestige Master's programme is intended for students with a linguistically oriented Bachelor's degree, with both talent and curiosity about language. The focus of this programme is man's cognitive capacity for language, in other words, the way language is shaped in our brain and shaped by our brain. The programme offers courses in a wide variety of perspectives to study the language faculty: acquisition (first and second), discourse studies, phonetics, phonology/morphology, psycholinguistics, semantics/computational linguistics, and syntax. From these tracks, the student chooses a major and a minor.
A significant part of the training is devoted to integrating insights from the various fields in linguistics. Students will be trained in systematically collecting data, planning and conducting experiments, and evaluating theoretical proposals. Part of the curriculum consists of an internship in a research project within the Utrecht institute of Linguistics (OTS) or another research institute in the Netherlands or abroad. Students complete their studies by writing a Master's thesis based on their research.
