In our new Master's Programme in Typology and Linguistic Diversity, students deepen their linguistic knowledge by studying linguistic structures from a cross-linguistic perspective. More specifically, the studies focus on areas related to language typology and linguistic diversity.
Language Typology and Linguistic Diversity are two overlapping research areas with a long-standing tradition and strong expertise within our department.
The programme provides in-depth knowledge and skills in the field of typology and linguistic diversity, and qualifies for postgraduate studies in linguistics.

The program includes 22.5 ECTS credits of electives, allowing for some specialization, whether in specific languages or methodological expertise.
The language of instruction is English.
The programme consists of four semesters of full-time study (120 ECTS), with required courses (97.5 ECTS), including a Master’s thesis (30 ECTS), and elective courses (22.5 ECTS).
Each of the first three semesters typically includes four courses of 7.5 ECTS.
Elective courses are chosen in consultation with the programme coordinator to ensure they align with the programme’s academic focus.
The Master’s thesis is a full-semester project worth 30 ECTS, though there is an option to complete a one-year Master’s degree after two semesters, with a thesis worth 15 ECTS.
Courses are typically offered on campus but individual modules may be available partially or fully online, depending on each course’s schedule.
