Research MA's in Linguistics

The University of Amsterdam offers a two-year Research MA in Linguistics and a one-year MA in General Linguistics. Both programmes are taught in English or, in the case of language-specific courses, in the target language. Since the University of Amsterdam is interested in attracting talented students, the tuition rates are competitive.

The Research MA in Linguistics is directed towards students of proven ability who are interested in conducting research in one of the many areas of linguistics that are studied in the research institutes of the University of Amsterdam. The programmes offer students the opportunity of specializing in a wide range of linguistic subdisciplines studied from various theoretical perspectives.
