Master’s Programme in Language Science with a Specialisation in French
The programme aims at extending and deepening your knowledge in French. It also strengthens your grasp of research methodology, research ethics and your ability to carry out scientific reasoning.
In addition to taking the faculty-wide courses which are obligatory in the Linguistics programme – philosophy of science, research ethics, academic English – and the obligatory training of your academic language skills in French in both speech and writing, you will choose the area and courses for your linguistic specialization, connected to the Department's research profile: philology (history of language and critical editing of texts), acquisition of French as a second or third language, conversational and discourse analysis of French on television/radio and in the press, and translation studies (contrastive approaches to French-Swedish).
