The University of Amsterdam offers a two-year Research MA in Linguistics and
a one-year MA in General Linguistics. Both programmes are taught in English
or, in the case of language-specific courses, in the target language. Since
the University of Amsterdam is interested in attracting talented students,
the tuition rates are competitive.

The Research MA in Linguistics is directed towards students of proven
ability who are interested in conducting research in one of the many areas
of linguistics that are studied in the research institutes of the University
of Amsterdam. The programmes offer students the opportunity of specializing
in a wide range of linguistic subdisciplines including Language acqusitiion
and Pathology, Second language Acquisition and Sign Linguistics studied from
various theoretical perspectives. The programme lasts two years for selected
students with a relevant BA or equivalent, and one year for selected

The MA in General Linguistics also offers a wide range of specializations,
and is aimed at students with a BA in Linguistics or an equivalent
programme, involving at least three years of full-time study at university
level. The programme lasts one year.
