What will you learn
The Master Language Variation and Multilingualism at Radboud University explores linguistic diversity and multilingualism from theoretical, sociolinguistic and psycholinguistic perspectives, thereby allowing students to have a full grasp on these topics and their relation. Courses generally offer a nice mix of theoretical and practical knowledge: they for instance situate insights from linguistic and language acquisition theory within the context of everyday communication and contemporary language use. For those with sufficient language proficiency, students can also integrate language-specific linguistics courses in Dutch, German, French and Spanish from the Masterlanguage programme, which offers linguistics courses in English, Dutch, Italian, French and Spanish that Radboud organises in collaboration with other Dutch universities. Language Variation and Multilingualism offers you the opportunity to pick and choose those courses that interest you the most, thereby allowing you to create the profile that you desire.
