face="Arial Unicode MS">The Erasmus Mundus EMCL (‘European Masters in Clinical
Linguistics’) course is a 15 months full-time interdisciplinary and
transnational university programme at Masters level providing integrated
training in theoretical and experimental neurosciences and psycholinguistics
with clinical issues. The aim of the Masters Course is to train highly qualified
advanced students who are excellently prepared for research work and
PhD-programmes in the above fields. <o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-GB style="COLOR: windowtext; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB"><FONT
face="Arial Unicode MS">The transnational consortium comprises four
universities: Groningen (NL), Joensuu (FI), Milano-Bicocca (IT) and Potsdam
(DE). The programme consists of three terms: the core courses offered in the
first term aim at providing the students with general knowledge about the fields
mentioned above. During the second and third term, the students attend
specialised courses. For the second term, students may choose to move from their
first host university to another one, while all students meet at the <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:PlaceType w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType> of <st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">Potsdam</st1:PlaceName></st1:place> during the third term. To finish
the programme successfully, the student writes a Masters thesis and attends a
summer school or conference organized for the consortium students. All courses
are taught in English. <o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-GB style="COLOR: windowtext; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB"><FONT
face="Arial Unicode MS">The programme recruits students as well as visiting
scholars worldwide. In order to encourage application by visiting scholars from
all over the world <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>and thus give
the EMCL-programme a strong global profile, visiting scholars accepted to the
programme will receive a scholar mobility grant (€ 4.000 per month).
Prerequisites for application as visiting scholar to the EMCL programme are an
active and excellent research record in the fields mentioned above and an
excellent command of English, since all classes are taught in
English.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
