A new Master of Arts in Foreign Languages and
Linguistics program is scheduled to begin at Potsdam
University in Fall semester 2006/07. The MA program is
an applied course of study intended to prepare
students for language-related professional fields
through the acquisition of language- and
culture-related knowledge and skills. The program
involves a combination of two of the following fields:
German as a Foreign Language, English, French,
Italian, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Linguistics &
Communication. (Linguistics & Communication cannot be
combined with German as a Foreign Language.) On the
basis of foundational knowledge in linguistics
acquired through an appropriate BA, the following
areas of linguistic inquiry are given special
attention: linguistic competence and intercultural
knowledge in two languages, systematic domains of
language structure (phonology, syntax, lexicon),
language as a means for communication, linguistic
variation, text linguistics. A variety of linguistic
methods and theoretical models are introduced with the
aim of establishing their theoretical, practical and
interdisciplinary relevance.
Students acquire advanced knowledge in two languages
at the level of C2 in the European Framework of
Reference and complete an internship in an area of
application such as intercultural communication in
enterprises or institutions,
translation/interpretation, press and media, language
teaching, technical documentation, software
development. It is recommended that some of the course
work in conjunction with the MA in Foreign Languages
and Linguistics should be completed at a university
abroad.
Applicants are requested to submit a curriculum vitae,
a certified copy of their first degree (Bachelor of
Arts or equivalent), a certified study transcript and
evidence of language proficiency at the level of C1
according to the Council of Europe's Common European
Framework of Reference for Languages in the two fields
to be studied. For further information please contact:
