    About Master's Degree in Multilingualism

    The innovative Master’s programme in Multilingualism incorporates cutting-edge research in linguistics and multilingualism. It is conducted at the Department of Linguistics at the University of Konstanz, a research-intensive department that is part of the Excellence Initiative. Students who choose the double degree option with the Université Bordeaux Montaigne will conduct half of their studies in Bordeaux following the “Sciences du langage” programme. The focus is on multilingualism with the “Parcours C: Plurilinguisme et contact de langues”. The emphasis of this part of the Master's programme is regional multilingualism in France, especially in the area and surroundings of Aquitaine. For more information, click here. Multilingualism is taught in English (and French in Bordeaux) and suits students who have a background in linguistics, education, psychology, cognitive science, speech and language therapy or related fields as well as students who have a strong interest in how language develops across different types of bilingual and multilingual groups. Within this two-year programme, students develop their knowledge and skills of linguistics; gain training in research design, research methods, and statistics; and receive solid training in a range of areas of multilingualism, including psycholinguistic, neurolinguistics, and sociolinguistic perspectives. The Department of Linguistics at the University of Konstanz has state-of-the art facilities that include reaction time, eye-tracking, ERP, baby lab facilities that can be used by the students, and more. Students who choose the double degree option spend the first year at the Université Bordeaux Montaigne. This enables them to gain international experience by studying within the French university system as a degree-seeking student. In the second year, they take classes at the University of Konstanz. Students who do not choose the double degree option spend one semester in the second year abroad at a university of their choice or do an internship at an organisation in Germany or abroad. This enables them to gain international experience, put their theoretical knowledge into practice, and develop professional and practical skills. The Department of Linguistics collaborates with many universities worldwide – click here for more information. It also has relationships with a range of organisations in Germany and abroad that have hosted students for an internship in the past. For the internship, students needn't go abroad; they can stay in Konstanz and surrounding areas. The combination of knowledge, training, and the application of the theoretical aspects of linguistics, research methods, and multilingualism prepares students for academic and non-academic careers. Students who graduate from the programme are excellent candidates for PhD programmes. Skills acquired in the programme are applicable to various professions in educational, administrative and international institutions, international associations, organisations, and global enterprises that operate in a multicultural environment.
