Master's in Angewandte Linguistik – Verwendung, Verarbeitung und Erwerb von Sprache

Angewandte Linguistik – Verwendung, Verarbeitung und Erwerb von Sprache is a Masters program taught at Universität Erfurt, Germany. Intake: Winter- und Sommersemester. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time (4 semesters) options.

Universität Erfurt offers the Master-Studiengang Angewandte Linguistik (Master in Sprachwissenschaft), a bilingual program (German/English) focused on human language in use, processing, and acquisition. Students analyse language in social and cultural contexts, study the cognitive processes linked to communication, and apply results back to practical language and communication problems. The program combines foundational and applied modules across these three areas.

The Master comprises 120 ECTS, organized as a three-semester study phase (90 LP) and one semester for the Master thesis (30 LP). Students complete Pflichtmodule, all modules of one Schwerpunkt (36 LP), and two language modules in the same language (each 6 LP). They also complete additional modules (18 LP) and write the Master thesis in the 4th semester based on a topic from the chosen Schwerpunkt. The program includes a Berufsfeld – Praktikum module.

Admission requires completion of a first university degree with a grade of 2,3 or better, such as:

• a philological or teacher training degree or a language therapy degree in which the sum of achievement points acquired in courses with a linguistic focus is at least 20 LP,
• a psychology degree if it includes a language or cognitive psychology component with approximately the same extent.

If individual admission requirements are not met, the examination board can connect admission to conditions. If you can provide some achievement points in linguistic topics but fewer than 20, the examination board can require you to attend additional events during the Master to make up the missing points.

You need English language skills at level B2 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Modern Languages (GER).

All international applicants must provide proof of German language skills of at least level B1 (CEFR) at the time of application and successfully complete the “Deutsche Sprachprüfung für den Hochschulzugang” (DSH-2 or DSH-3) or an equivalent examination before starting the program. An application without German language skills or with only basic knowledge is not considered promising.
