Frequently Asked Questions
For Applicants
When is the next application period?
You can find the start and end date of the application period here.
What is meant by the admission requirement "previous knowledge in linguistics"?
Since the programme has a strong linguistics component, a background in linguistics is essential to be eligible for our study programme. The more formal linguistics courses you have completed, the better. An admissions committee will decide which applicants will be accepted. You should have several courses on your transcript of records, such as these:
Introduction to Linguistics, Phonetics, Phonology, Morphology, Syntax, Semantics, Pragmatics, First Language Acquisition, Second Language Acquisition, Psycholinguistics, Sociolinguistics
Is the M.A. Multilingualism programme taught online?
Generally, the programme is taught on campus in Konstanz. A few courses may be taught in a hybrid format.
How many study places are available?
In this study programme, there are no admission restrictions (see here). However, applicants must meet the admission requirements. Approximately 30 students start studying on the MA programme each year. This is an average, not an upper limit.
