Overview
The Language Variation and Multilingualism program 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.
Future career opportunities
This programme prepares for jobs in which linguistic knowledge is applied. Language Variation and Multilingualism offers you an intensive learning experience in both linguistics and/or a particular second language. This will further enhance your language skills and may allow you to pursue a career working in both your native language and the second language.
