Master

The Department of Foreign Literatures and Linguistics offers two Programs: an MA in English Literature and an MA in Linguistics.

Both the English Literature and the Linguistics MA Programs offer either a thesis (research) track or a non-thesis (general) track. Both are two-year Programs. All tracks have three objectives:

to expose students to current research topics in the field;

to engage students in academic discourse, research methodologies, and critical reasoning;

to train students in academic writing and the usage of professional literature.

All tracks are designed to take two years. Additionally, the goal of the thesis track is that students conduct original research and contribute to scientific knowledge.

M.A. in Linguistics programs offer either a thesis (research) track or a non-thesis (general) track. It is two-year Programs. To expose students to current research topics in the field and engage students in academic discourse, research methodologies and critical reasoning
