Subject: International Master’s Program Linguistics, Bielefeld University


The Department of Linguistics at Bielefeld University (Germany) is
pleased to announce a new international Master’s program, taught
entirely in English, starting in April 2026.
We welcome applications and inquiries from prospective students in
Germany and around the world.
The MA in Linguistics at Bielefeld University offers a solid and broad
foundation, followed by specialization in the areas that most interest
you. We offer seven different profiles: Communication, Computational
Linguistics, General Linguistics, Laboratory Phonology and
Experimental Phonetics, Neurolinguistics, Psycholinguistics, and
Theoretical Aspects of Clinical Linguistics.
Bielefeld University is a campus university with many excellent
resources to support you in organizing your studies and navigating
student life, including a student service center, an international
office, family services, workshops on overcoming academic challenges
and discovering personal strengths, and counseling on study financing
as well as physical and mental health. As of 2026, the enrollment fee
at Bielefeld University is EUR 333 per semester. This fee not only
covers your tuition, but also provides Germany-wide travel on public
transportation, as well as a range of subsidies.
The MA in Linguistics is designed as a two-year program (4 semesters)
with a workload of 120 ECTS credits. As students typically choose to
begin in the winter semester, the program is oriented toward an
October start. However, starting in April is also possible. Assuming
an October start, the first semester focuses primarily on building
core knowledge and skills. In the second and third semester, students
specialize in one of the profiles offered by the program. In the
fourth semester, students carry out independent research and write a
Master's thesis on a topic of their choosing.
The language of instruction is English. To be eligible to apply,
students must hold a BA degree with a substantial focus on
linguistics, as well as English language proficiency equivalent to
level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages
(corresponding to an IELTS band score of 5.5.–6.5).
Application deadlines are January 15 for starting in April, and July
15 for starting in October.
