If you start your studies in the fall semester:
The Master program Linguistics should be started ideally in the fall semester. This is when the compulsory Methodology modules that form the basis of this program are offered. In these courses, students acquire the necessary training and methodological skills for the upcoming semesters. These are the compulsory methodology modules:
Each course consists of a lecture and a tutorial. For more information about these modules please check the course catalogue (autumn semester).
If you start your studies in the spring semester:
If you received additional requirements for your admission (Auflagen), we highly recommend you use the first spring semester to fulfil these requirements.
If you have not received additional requirements, you may take any of the courses that don't have the methodology courses as a prerequisite. You can find out about each module's prerequisites in the course description in the course catalogue.
The additional requirement of up to 21 ECTS in the field of Linguistics can be fulfilled during the course of study but before graduation. If you have no knowledge in linguistics, we recommend the following introductory modules at BA level:
