Linguistics

Linguistics is the scientific study of human language. Linguists study how languages are structured, the similarities and differences between the languages of the world, and how languages develop, change and disappear. The field also studies how people use language to communicate with each other and how children acquire their mother tongue.

Courses and programmes for international students

We have two Master’s programmes that are open for international applicants, and we also offer distance courses in second level linguistics for international students.

As an international applicant you should know that there are different admission rounds and application periods to consider.

• First admissions round – All international students are encouraged to apply in the first admissions round of the autumn semester to have the time to pay the tuition fees, apply and receive the residence permit (if required), find housing etc. The first admissions round for the autumn semester is generally open between middle of October and middle of January.
• Second admissions round – The second admissions round is an alternative for students with a citizenship within EU/EEA as they do not need a residence permit. Non-EU/EEA students will not have enough time to obtain their residence permit before the start of the semester if they apply in the second admissions round. The second admissions round for the autumn semester is generally open between middle of March and middle of April.
