Masters in Linguistics are able to define the questions and goals of their research with great accuracy.
They possess the skills needed to gather information related to their research topic, to select, and to process critically.
They master the necessary methodological insight and background to make methodological choices suited to their research goals and questions, and they are able to motivate those choices.
They are able to gather and delineate the language data relevant for their research (i.a. through corpus analysis).
They possess the necessary knowledge of their scientific field to be able to motivate the choice of scientific framework, to situate it in that field and to handle it creatively which also requires a critical distance vis-à-vis that framework.
They are aware of the ways in which their goals and the chosen theoretical framework determine the selection of data.
They are able to propose creative solutions related to research problems, e.g. by extending the theoretical framework or by relating it to other frameworks or other disciplines or scientific fields.
They are able to formulate the results of their research clearly in relation to the questions asked and the chosen methodology, and they can explain and defend them in a scientific publication or during a lecture which satisfies the demands imposed on publications in international scholarly journals or talks at international meetings.
The specific orientation coordinated at UA, Interdisciplinary Linguistics, has as a supplementary goal that Masters in Linguistics develop specific skills and insights in interdisciplinary approaches to language, and gain insights in the social relevance and practical applicability of the research engaged in.
Specific goals of the option ‘Language Technology’:
These Masters are able to evaluate the possibility and complexity of the computational modelling of language processes, and they are able to develop such computational models.
They can formulate algorithmic solutions to problems in artificial intelligence and language technology and they can implement them in efficient programs and systems.
They understand existing algorithms and programs for problems in articifial intelligence and language technology; they can analyse and adapt them.
Specific goals of the option ‘Language and Society’:
These Masters possess a strongly critical competence, based on the interdisciplinary foundations of their training, in which language processes are never seen in isolation from social structures, power relationships and ideological processes.
Specific goals of the option ‘Language Processing’:
These Masters possess the necessary scientific knowledge to apply findings from psycholinguistics to a pedagogical environment: they are able to apply relevant research into language acquisition (spoken, written) in the context of reading and writing research, contributing e.g. to the development of methods for orthographic training, preparatory reading programs, and the like.
They are able to transfer the findings of fundamental psycholinguistic research to a clinical setting: psycholinguistics (primary language acquisition and processing, multilingualism, language pathology, and the like) has implications for clinical work that are not always evident for the clinicians (speech therapists, audiologists, etc.).

A student’s final result is a weighted average of the exam results the student has obtained for all the programme components of his/her training programme. In calculating the final result, the credits corresponding to the various programme components are used for weighting the results obtained for those components.
The final result is expressed as an integer out of 100.
A student whose final result is less than 50 out of 100 can never be declared successful.
A student is successful for the training programme if he/she has obtained credits for all the programme components in his/her training programme.
