Programme overveiw

Lund University offers you an opportunity to pursue advanced studies in languages and linguistics at Master’s level. You will meet and study together with students from a number of different fields of specialisation. The languages of instruction are English and the language corresponding to the field of your specialisation. The Centre for Languages and Literature offers students access to the most modern resources for research and education. 

The specialisation in Japanese is aimed at those with a desire to pursue deeper studies in Japanese linguistics. Students will follow two courses that focus on reading and discussing texts on Japanese theoretical linguistics (in English as well as in Japanese). This module, together with the courses in general linguistics offered within the Master’s Programme, provides the student with a solid theoretical foundation. Students may also write their master’s thesis on a topic related to Japanese linguistics. The Japanese linguistics option will appeal to those who need a practical as well as a theoretical knowledge of the Japanese language for their current or future career.

With a Master´s degree in Language and Linguistics, you are attractive for employers looking for a highly qualified individual with expert knowledge in communication in general, and in language in particular. An international MA in Language and Linguistics also provides you with the academic background you need in order to apply for doctoral studies in languages and linguistics.

The primary requirement is a BA degree in language and linguistics. In addition to academic transcript, the applicant should submit their BA thesis and/or other independently written academic papers. The word count for these written samples of work should be between 6000 and 8000 words in total (excluding the references and possible appendices). The subject area of the thesis and the possible other submitted essays should be relevant for the selected specialisation. The expected Japanese language proficiency corresponds to N2-level of the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test (JLPT). Send your academic paper(s) via email to masterlanguage [at] sol [dot] lu [dot] se. Submit all other supporting documentation to www.universityadmissions.se
