MA Language in Europe at Osnabrück University

Osnabrück University, Germany

Programme overview

International understanding and successful social integration are decisively determined by linguistic factors. Language is not only a common means of interaction, but also an important identity-forming characteristic. The course focuses on migration and integration in Europe as well as language and cognition.

Faculty: School of Language and Literary Studies  |  Duration: 4 semesters (2 years)  |  Study mode: full-time; German-taught (partly English | (optional courses also in French, Spanish and Italian))  |  Intake: winter semester and summer semester  |  Location: Osnabrück, Niedersachsen, Germany

What you will study

The course concentrates on the European linguistic and cultural area, but also allows students to study certain non-European linguistic and cultural areas. With regard to the intended inclusion of migrant languages, it is therefore also planned to study a potential contact language, which can be acquired or optimized at the Language Centre.

Career pathways

Graduates of the "Language in Europe" degree course qualify for future fields of work in university and non-university research.
