This MA programme aims at developing scientific and technical skills necessary for carrying out original research or fulfil professional duties that rely on specialised knowledge of the mechanisms involved in structuring, producing, comprehending and using language. Students with an MA in Linguistics may engage in professional activities such as: creating, as part of larger teams, dictionaries, grammars, linguistic corpora or electronic linguistic resources; providing consulting services in clinical and educational areas concerning the development and disorders of oral and written language; preparing expert reports in forensic linguistics; working in educational (or other type of) projects in multilingual contexts; text editing and revision; rescuing and making available archival heritage. Given its flexible structure, the MA programme is suited for new professional profiles and favours the development of interdisciplinary links that may lead to new research areas.
