    About

    The IECL provides an advanced academic training in research methodology in a flexible format and prepares you for a scientific career in the areas of psycho- and neurolinguistics. The IECL has a specific focus on the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying language processing and language acquisition as well as their disorders and their rehabilitation. You can develop your own area of interest within a research framework of first language acquisition, speech and language processing, evidence-based practice in speech and language disorders, and multilingual language acquisition and processing. The programme provides an intensive, research-based education in experimental and clinical linguistics, in which students can deepen and expand the knowledge, skills, and proficiencies gained in their Bachelor’s studies. This includes the theoretical, methodological, and experimental foundations for scientific work, and it promotes the ability to work in fields related to applied science, research, and teaching. The programme does not provide basic training for working as a speech and language therapist.
