Subject: New MA Programme in Linguistics, Wroclaw, Poland

The new M.A. programme Empirical and Theoretical Linguistics (ETHEL) is
addressed both to students from Poland and from abroad who have a bachelor or
master’s degree in any field with a general academic or practical profile. The
guiding idea of the programme is an individualisation of education, especially
in the second year of studies. The programme is highly modular and unrivalled
in its combination of theoretical and empirical linguistics. Students may
choose courses that best correspond to their individual interests and that
determine the choice of topics of their M.A. theses. The wide range of
research interest areas covered by the staff of the Department of English
Studies warrants a rich and highly qualitative offer of classes in
linguistics, applied linguistics and psycholinguistics. Students are also
invited to make use of the Department’s facilities including psycholinguistic
labs (equipped with an EEG and an eyetracking apparatus) as well as
specialized experimental software such as Presentation, E-Prime or SPSS. The
instruction language is English, which additionally enhances students’
knowledge and language skills in this language. 

This is a two-year programme (four semesters), comprising 800 hours, 120 ECTS
credit points (whereby the majority of credit points, 78 ECTS, are awarded for
elective classes). The programme consists of core and specialized modules.
Core modules aim at establishing a firm and uniform foundation for all
students attending the programme, independently of their previous background.
These modules are compulsory and cover a set of core topics in Linguistics.
Specialised modules, on the other hand, may be subject to change. In
“empirical” modules students plan, design and analyse experiments which are
grounded in theoretical knowledge provided in “theoretical” modules.

Although the programme does not prepare students for the pursuit of a concrete
profession, it does develop the basic competences such as self-learning, the
ability to work in a group, timely execution of tasks and tolerance, all of
these being highly desirable qualities of prospective employees.
