Master’s Programme in Linguistics: Language, Communication and Cognition, specialisation track "English Language and Linguistics"
From October 2023, Freiburg’s Master of English Language and Linguistics – MELLing – established in 2007 and one of Germany’s most popular and successful master programs in the field of English Linguistics, will be continued as one of five specializations in the newly established overarching master Linguistics: Language, Communication and Cognition. This reform follows a university policy of consolidating language-related master programs under one heading. The “English Language and Linguistics” specialization (Profillinie) will maintain the quality features of the MELLing program. This means that it:
- provides you with a comprehensive, research-oriented introduction to linguistics focussed on the English language;
- familiarises you with a wide range of state-of-the-art quantitative and qualitative research methods in linguistics;
- is taught entirely in English by highly qualified staff, among them several internationally recognised experts in their fields of specialisation.
Additional quality features of the new program:
- you can benefit from a wider range of regularly offered classes in research methods;
- you can take one, or if you wish, two modules from other profiles (such as General Linguistics, German, Romance, Slavic Linguistics, or Cognitive Science).
The next application phase starts in March 2025. Apply for the Master of Linguistics, indicating that you want to enroll in the specialisation English Language and Linguistics.
