Master
The general Linguistics specialisation covers the ground of Linguistics using theoretical and empirical work: from the description of languages to changes in languages; from phonology to pragmatics.
If you choose to study Linguistics in Nijmegen you will have a unique opportunity to put together your own programme. With the exception of your thesis, all subjects are optional. You can choose from a wide range of interesting advanced topics in fields as diverse as psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, second language learning, language description and linguistic diversity.
