The Master's Programme in Linguistic Diversity and Digital Humanities at the University of Helsinki combines cognitive science, digital humanities, general linguistics, language technology, and phonetics. Students build expertise in language, mind, and digital methods through one of five study tracks: General Linguistics, Phonetics, Language Technology, Cognitive Science, or Digital Humanities.
The degree takes two years of full-time contact teaching and is worth 120 ECTS credits. The structure includes common studies, advanced studies in the chosen study track, and elective studies. The thesis is 30 ECTS and is written during the second year in a thesis seminar under supervision. Elective studies may include courses from other LingDig tracks, other University of Helsinki programmes, partner universities, student exchange, and work placements.
The programme is designed for students interested in language, cognition, history, culture, linguistic diversity, and digital methods. The University of Helsinki says that graduates can continue to doctoral studies, and the programme does not award subject teacher qualification.
