Introduction

This is a two-year program at the second level with English as its main field of study. You can choose to specialize in linguistics or literature, or a combination of these.

Several of the courses in the Program combine linguistics and literature. The aim is for you to develop knowledge of relevant, modern linguistic and literary theories and methods, primarily within the fields included in the research centers at the faculty, such as the postcolonial and intermedia research centers, as well as multicultural communication and text mining in Data Intensive Digital Humanities. After the first semester, you can choose courses in either linguistics or literature or combine both fields. During the third semester, you have the opportunity to study abroad at one of Linnaeus University’s partner universities or to conduct an internship abroad. If you choose not to go abroad, you will study in Sweden with international students in the Program. You write your Master’s thesis in the fourth semester.
