core courses. Students choose from a large number of elective courses 
according to their personal interests and specialization area, including for 
example: theoretical, empirical, and computational linguistics, phonetics, 
phonology, psycholinguistics, and second language acquisition research.
The MA program complements the classical linguistic education with 
experimental and empirical research methods. It offers a strong computer 
and technology orientation, and thus practical and hands-on experience in 
modern linguistic research domains.
Creative thinking and advancement of teamwork are essential values 
conveyed throughout the program, accompanied by individual and intensive 
tutoring involving current research issues.

The program imparts solid knowledge of linguistic theories and research
methods, including:
- collection and processing of data
- statistical analysis of data
- experimental design
- computational modeling
- theoretical research and theory construction
