Language and Cognition-Master at University of Groningen

Description

The Language and Cognition programme at the University of Groningen is a selective, two-year Research Master’s degree designed for students interested in advanced linguistic research. It explores how language is represented and processed in the brain, how people acquire additional languages, how linguistic structures shape language use, and how language functions within society.

Students complete core linguistics courses and can select subjects in areas such as neuro- and psycholinguistics, theoretical linguistics, developmental linguistics, computational linguistics, discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, and communication studies. The programme develops research skills and foundational knowledge of linguistic analysis, language development, and language processing, preparing graduates for related PhD programmes and other research positions.
