Na de studie
Beroepsperspectief / arbeidsmarkt
During the Research Master's programme in Linguistics you will acquire a wide-ranging set of skills useful in a wide range of domains.
Analytical skills involve the ability to recognize patterns and link these to theoretical explanations.
Communication skills, such as writing and giving oral presentations, are part of all coursework and you receive experience and feedback to hone your abilities in these areas.
Students in our programme further gain experience in working as a team, through course projects but also the required internship.
A final focus is on methodological skills; through required coursework in statistics and corpus analysis students learn how to analyze corpora of texts to make generalizations based on quantitative findings. Elective modules are also available which train students to design experiments and carry out research in laboratory environments.
